Studying While Working Full-Time? You’re Not Alone.

If you’re trying to balance full-time work with studying for CeMAP, I want to start by saying this:
You’re not falling behind. You’re not doing it wrong. And you’re definitely not alone.
In fact, the vast majority of students I support aren’t studying in perfect silence, with colour-coded notes and an empty calendar.They’re doing it in 20-minute bursts between client calls. On the sofa after the kids go to bed. On their lunch breaks. At 6am before the house wakes up.
And it still counts. Because consistency always beats perfection.
Why This Matters for Employers Too
If you're reading this as someone who runs a team — especially in recruitment, financial services or L&D — it’s worth knowing that the idea of a “typical learner” doesn’t really exist anymore.
📌 Most new trainees are juggling other responsibilities.
📌 Many haven’t studied since school.
📌 A large percentage are parents or career changers.
📌 And more than ever, they want flexibility — but not at the cost of support.
That’s why I’ve designed my CeMAP training to work around real life. Whether that means offering full-time Fast Track Masterclasses or self-paced E-Learning, the goal is always the same:
✅ Clear structure
✅ Accessible content
✅ Support that doesn’t disappear after five days
What Studying While Working Really Looks Like
Every month I ask my students what their study setup looks like. These are just a few of the answers I’ve had:
"One earphone in, one toddler on my hip.
" "Flashcards at the kitchen table between shifts."
"Mock exams on Sunday nights with a glass of wine."
"Up at 5:30am to revise before work."
And here’s the part I’m most proud of: they’re passing.
In Q1 of this year, over 85% of my students passed at least one of their CeMAP exams on their first attempt. Many had full-time jobs. Many were raising families. Some were doing both.
It’s not about making studying easy — it’s about making it doable.
How Businesses Can Support Their Staff Better
If you’re responsible for helping your team get CeMAP qualified, here’s what makes the biggest difference (and it’s not another training manual):
✨ Structured learning with built-in flexibility
✨ Support that goes beyond the course dates
✨ A trainer that actually responds when students need help
✨ The option for live check-ins and accountability
That’s why my business-ready CeMAP packages include:
Cohort tracking
Employer onboarding tools
WhatsApp support from me
Optional branded platforms
And flexible live Q&A add-ons
Because when learners feel seen, they succeed.
So whether you’re studying solo while working full-time, or supporting a team who is — don’t let anyone tell you it has to look a certain way.
Progress is progress. And I’m here to help you keep moving.
