7512 - Which units?

16 weeks with 2 down, 42 hours tutorial time left.  How much time can I realistically give over to this?  An hour a day during the week and a further 5 or so at the weekend should be quite possible.  I read a lot anyway so this now becomes research time.  The time count creeps up, this adds another 140 hours+

The handbook for the course gives guide of 90 GLH for the Certificate in Specialist Photography and Presentation.  GLH - Guided Learning Hours.  Specific tasks are guided; does background research come into this?

As I look at the handbook further there appears to be a cross-over with some of the units.  In order to progress with a specialist photography unit it will be necessary to develop a better understanding of equipment and how the intended image will be developed for output.  The various assignments that we are to be presented with are effectively mini briefs. 

If that is taken further it is not a huge stretch to look at the extra units for the Certificate in Photography and Photo Imaging.  The handbook identifies 180 GLH, which would include those identified already.  Is this too much?  Work to the 90 and time allowing pull in the additional seems to be the way forward.

A long winded way of coming round to units:
211 - Photo image presentation
208 - Principles in location photography

Time and inclination permitting follow up with:
210 - Principles of photo image output &
212 - Working to a photo imaging brief OR potentially
205 - Photo imaging equipment and materials.
