‘Block Release’ courses are attended consecutively over sequential days, allowing you to complete the training quickly in a more intense, focused "block" of training. Whereas ‘Day Release’ courses typically run one or two days per week with ample space in-between each session, making it easier to balance your training alongside work and other commitments. Regardless of your chosen learning method, both formats cover the same content and lead to the same qualification.
