will aim to complete each unit within five calendar days so that all six units can be completed within 30 days, leaving the final two weeks for editing?

This schedule is operationally unfeasible and risks academic failure. Each of the six units requires substantial strategic analysis, stakeholder mapping, and evidence-based argumentation, typically demanding 40–60 hours of focused work per unit. Completing a unit in five calendar days leaves insufficient time for critical reflection, literature review, or rigorous editing, which are core to Level 7 assessment criteria. The standard 9–12 month route allows for deep engagement with organisational capability and governance topics. Even the 6-month fast-track requires sustained weekly effort. Attempting a 30-day completion undermines the quality of your strategic direction analysis and may result in non-compliant submissions. We recommend adhering to the structured study plan to ensure board-level output quality and successful progression to the MBA top-up.
