nah nah...no problem.
It takes erm.....well it depends how long Cambridge take. Your sponsor gets your stuff for you........you fill in a bit he/she fills in a bit....you send it off........then you wait (possibly anything from 5 days to 7-8 weeks when they are super busy) they then decide if you're suitable and then if you are, you'll get a phone interview then if successful you'll get invited for training. There are training days a couple of times a month in a few places - only been 1 or 2 up my neck of the woods, I had to go down to Northants!!
Then you do the training and decide whether or not you want to do it....then you hand over your money and your life (hahah, not really!) and you are given a basic accrediation. You can fill that in pretty quickly and send it off in a matter of days.
It's the waiting again to see if they have marked it and then they'll phone you and go through if you've passed or not and go through any bits you've got wrong.
You then have to complete a million (it seems like a million) modules within 3 months. You can start as soon as you have got your accreditation through.
So...all in all.....prob a couple of months, plus any set up time you need. Just depends how busy it all is.
