A two-year or a three-year trajectory
Two management programmes, the same exit level, two spreads over time. One concentrates the volume into two years, the other extends it over three and leaves more room for practice. Here are their real credits, supervised hours and fees, side by side.
What the spread changes
Duration acts on three things at once. It sets the load of each week, since the total volume is spread over the stated number of months. It determines the time available between two blocks to apply what has just been covered. And it sets the fee schedule, paid by year. The table below gives all three lines together, which lets you reason on the total rather than on a single figure.

The deciding criterion

- When you want the credential in hand: two years or three
- The fee schedule, which follows the number of years in the trajectory
- The time you want between blocks to apply what you learn
