What will my learning experience be like?

All our courses are designed using modern adult learning practices that build reflection, relevancy, and practice in all training materials and exercises.

At the start of each training week, you will be sent an instructional video that you can watch at your own pace and at a time that suits you best. At the end of each training week, there will be a live, expert-led, online group session. This session will enable you to work together with your instructor and fellow trainees to really test out and build your confidence in the approach.

The course is run over 5 weeks, with live group sessions every Tuesday starting on 20th June. There are two live session times available each week (10:30 AM or 5:30 PM GMT) to fit with your schedule. The total learning time per week will be 3 to 3.5 hours.
