Why Choose Taylors College

WHY TAYLORS COLLEGE

Standard Program (40 weeks)

Intensive Program (30 weeks)
In the Intensive Program, you will study almost the same number of hours as students who enrolled in the 40 week Standard Program. However, your timetable will be arranged so that you can complete the course over a shorter period. You will have 30 hours of class time per week.
