Set Your Pace

We've created three routes to help you pace yourself on Bootcamp. We call this "Set Your Pace". 

Below you can find details of our three paces - running, jogging and walking.

You'll see that we have given you suggested timescales for each pace.  These are your choice, just recommendations. You can take as long or short as you like, as Bootcamp is completely flexible for how long you take to complete your exams.


Run

  • This is our fast route. You can complete your exams within one month without crashing. 
  • We suggest you devote 30 hours per week and this pace is only suitable for someone who is not working full-time anywhere else and is driven to work extremely hard for one month.

Jog

  • This is our medium pace. You take two months to complete the exams devoting around 15 hours per week. Quite possible if you're working full-time elsewhere.
  • Remember, these are suggestions; you can go as fast or slow as you wish.

Walk

  • Finally, we have our walking pace. 
  • Four months and 8 hours per week. Ideal for someone working full-time with other commitments too. 
  • This is the favourite pace for most people on Bootcamp but remember,  you have up to 12 months, so there's plenty of time.
