Course Design
The courses within this package are designed to accommodate adult education approaches and require delegates to take responsibility for their own learning.
Each course has an extensive self-study component supplemented by additional reading material that affords delegates the opportunity to apply key learning concepts to their individual context and their working environment.
These components have been designed to ensure:
- acquisition of knowledge
- application of such knowledge in a simulated learning opportunity
- the development of a frame of reference on the subject
- assimilation of skills
Each module is further supported by a video tuition session featuring national subject matter experts. Video tuition sessions are designed to highlight key messages linked to the module but presenters do not cover all aspects of the module. To extract the full benefit of the module the participant needs to watch the video tuition session in conjunction with working through the study material.
