As a practicing Buddhist of TB I have been taught that the Four Noble Truths, Noble Eightfold Path and Dependent Origination are at the very core of the Buddha's Teachings as skillful means to end suffering. Everyone from begining practioners to high Lama use them as a foundation for inproving their own life and the lives of others.

I would be interested in how you would feel that " I still feel that these studies are probably not required at my stage?"

All the Best

No, one need not study all these, if one has deeply understood Lotus sutra. They come to one's knowledge automatically.
Guatam Budh confirms this in Lotus sutra. He says my all earlier teachings were all expedient means and are no more necessary. If you want I can get you the exact reference from the book.
