There is no intention to produce any study materials to cover the technical content of this qualification, although there are many textbooks on the subject of trustees and trusteeship, and the PMI will provide a reading list of these plus journals and magazines for guidance (within Guidance Document).

It is envisaged that training materials/courses may be developed in future, via a series of ‘Masterclasses’.

This is also known as Total Qualification Time (TQT).

TQT is a measure required by Ofqual the qualifications regulator and is comprised of:

• Guided Learning Hours (GLH). This means time spent being taught by an instructor (and not necessarily face to face);

Guided learning hours (GHL)              0              (Distance learning)

Self-study (SS)                                      160            (40 per learning outcome)

Formative Assessment (F)                  2              (Mock Exams)

Summative Assessment (S)                2              (Online Exams)

Total Assessment Time (TAT)              4              (F+S)

Total Qualification Time                     164 Hours (GLH+SS+TAT)   

• Study Time. This means self-study/revision/reading
• Assessment Time: This is both Formative and Summative (Mock Exams and Final Exams)

The above estimates are based on evidence we have gathered from users of our qualifications, past experience and benchmarking exercises. The evidence we have gathered indicates that there is considerable variation within the overall TQT estimates as blended approaches are common with differing mixes of Guided Learning and other elements which contribute to TQT.

These estimates are reviewed regularly.
