Keep five time measures separate
Calendar duration, attendance, guided learning, supervised hands-on practice and independent work answer different questions. A credible comparison labels each one instead of combining them into a larger-looking total.
- Calendar duration
- Compulsory attendance
- Guided learning
- Tutor-supervised hands-on practice
- Independent study and case studies
Ask what happens during practical time
Find out whether learners watch demonstrations, practise techniques, complete full consultations, receive individual corrections and repeat improved work. Ask how group size affects access to observation and feedback.
SSTA hours status
SSTA has not publicly confirmed its total, guided, contact or supervised-practical hours. The maximum Level 3 cohort size is published, but it must not be used to invent an hours figure.
