FiT is a self-paced course so there is no time limit to complete it but
as a guide estimates on the time you may spend on reading core content
is (3 hours) and on optional activities and exploring related links (2-4
hours). As there are many different forms of teaching that you maybe
involved in such as demonstrating, tutorials, lectures and online how
long you choose to engage with each section may depend on the type of
teaching you are going to be undertaking. We also hope you will find it
useful to keep referring back to FiT as you develop your teaching
practice.
