Based on surveys and feedback from ATPs on their existing CMS-TIG training, as well as the curriculum for the new courses, it is estimated that the Chemical Management Fundamentals course and the Advanced Course for Supplier Type A would require approximately 8–10 hours to deliver. The Advanced Courses for Supplier Types B and C would require approximately 16–20 hours.
These estimates apply regardless of whether the courses are delivered in person, online, or through e-learning modules. They are provided as guidance only, and each ATP should determine the appropriate number of learning hours after considering all relevant variables. ATPs are expected to ensure that training quality is maintained, irrespective of the number of training hours.
