Dates TBC
Given the specialist nature of this training, instead of setting dates we are collecting applications and once we have the minimum number required to run the course we will liaise directly with all the applicants to find mutually convenient dates.
This course is delivered in a blended learning format consisting of flipped classroom eLearning modules, facilitated MS Teams sessions and homework. The MS Teams sessions take place over two full days (10am to 4pm) and one half day over a total period of five to six weeks, with presentations to be prepared between each MS Team session.
