The content of the Access Arrangements Course builds heavily upon what you have learnt in the Real Training CCET course. Therefore, the CCET module should always be completed before the AAC module. This is to ensure that you possess the requisite skills, competence, and confidence to give context to the content of the AAC course.
If you elect to study AAC online, you will not be able to commence the course until you have successfully completed CCET.
Initially 4 months is allowed to complete the course, but this can be extended by a further 4 months is a suitable case is made.
