COURSE STRUCTURE
The virtual training will take place over 4 days, with up to a year to submit course assignments. You will receive access to the online training platform where you can access the pre-recorded section of the training, and will be part of a private Facebook Group where you can interact with your fellow trainees, and ask questions and gain access to links and files relevant to the course. You will also have interactive Zoom classes on the 4 days, where Louisa can answer any questions and give you feedback. Final teaching assessments will be carried out using video recordings.
Because the training will be a combination of pre-recorded classes, accessed through the Training Platform and live Zoom classes, which are recorded and sent to all students daily, you can adapt your training to suit your time zone and schedule.
