Technician Level

I am doing my intermediate now so am just thinking ahead..
How long does the technican level usually take? I have heard that you can do it in 6 months?
If you are study by long distance can you start technician before you receive your intermediate result?

Hindsight is great, I think I could have done it in 6 mths but as the Dec exams are in the first week of the month (ie month end) I was forced to take only 2 as our office had too many people out for other exams....
If you've got a good work ethic and work/life balance then there's no reason why you couldn't do it in 6 mths, it's all pretty straightforward!
I think if you looking at things from a realisitic point of view it would take a year. The project is likely to take a good couple of months at best! You can study the technician without intermediate result but you can't take any of the exams until you know you've passed.
Good luck with whatever you choose.
Also, bear in mind that for distance learning you need to have any simulations and your project marked; from what I've heard these can take a while so you could be held up by the college if you tried to rush it through. If you take the extra time, that won't be a problem and it will certainly increase your chances in the exam room!
Good luck for the rest of your Intermediate and the Technician levels!
