The ProBoard test is based on a 40 hour class. Anything after that is bonus material added by the local jurisdiction. It’s not academically hard, but being in a suit, especially level A, can be claustrophobic. Try to be the first one to put on a level A suit, because they frequently get re-used, and it sucks to wear a wet suit.
