Format

This is an online course and is made up of both individual learning activities and a series of live sessions.

The live sessions are interactive and delivered through slides, video clips, activities, discussion and case studies which we will explore as a group to embed learning.

Individual learning is based on a combination of videos, workbook activities and reading, which can be done at your own pace, usually between one and two hours per session, in advance of each live session.
