Each ‘on-line’ tutorial session will be broken down into approximately 3 modules, each lasting approximately 45 minutes allowing for a short ‘Q&A Session’ followed by a 10-15 minute ‘Comfort Break’.

The nature of this training course involves all delegates and instructor(s) in an ongoing process of qualitative and quantitative assessment.

Between ‘on-line’ tutorial sessions, ‘Assignments’ will be set as homework which must be completed ‘individually’ or ‘by groups’ encouraging individuals to communicate with each other outside of the scheduled ‘on-line’ sessions. Individuals or their group will then present their answers from previously set ‘Assignments’ at a convenient point during the next scheduled ‘on-line’ tutorial session.
