I instructed for a number of years and I think the quickest I sent someone solo was around the 8.5 hour mark and the longest was around 70 hours (had written exam issues). 90% of my students though fell somewhere in the 15 - 30 hour mark.

As stated above, whenever you are ready!! Makes no difference at the end of the day. Just enjoy the experience.

Good luck
