It really depends on the progress desired. There is a correlation between the time spent practising and the speed developed. As a general rule 10 – 15 hours of structured practise will lead to the development of 10 wpm.
Assuming that your theory is sound at the outset, expect to develop 10 wpm after 10 – 15 hours of structured practise. Developing speed with Teeline is swift.
Yes and more. Your one-to-one (or small group tutorials) will be scheduled to suit your own preference.

We have already increased our semester times from 10 weeks to 17 weeks to give you additional time to achieve your goal. From our research into learning Teeline Shorthand using our online resources, we have found that you can cover the theory and develop speed to 60 wpm if you spend 60 – 90 hours practising.
This equates to approximately 3 - 5 hours per week over 17 weeks. If, after 17 weeks, you still need more time, you can enrol for an additional semester. The likelihood is that during this second semester you will make the transition from beginner to intermediate standard
