This programme has been designed with the busy professional in mind. It's delivered over a sixteen week period via a blended learning platform comprising three face-to-face days, weekly online teaching and learning activities, and one-to-one tutorials. A platform of carefully constructed bite-size activities enables the synthesis of theory and practice, supporting the reflection and application of ideas to your own institutional and regional context. The three days face-to-face contact are vital in establishing supportive relationships and promoting the sharing of good practice, which are key to successful outcomes.
