We use a blended delivery approach combining on campus classroom and online delivery.

Classroom learning This blended mode means we conduct face to face delivery for 15 hours per week supplemented by structured online learning for 5 hours per week. Once you start the course, the trainers will explain how the classes will run 15 hours per week in classroom. Classroom learning includes lectures supported by power point plus visual topic content, with practice time and lots of group and oral work.

Structured online learning There is an extra 5 hours per week programmed outside of 20 scheduled contact hours where you revise and practice to reinforce classroom learning. The online learning is set up by unit and topics so it is easy for you to explore and then work through each unit of study. Some people will move more quickly through the material and others may take a bit more time depending on your confidence in the topics.
