Learner Engagement
All sessions during the day will be a mix of lectures, engaging discussion and one to one coaching. They will be tailored to suit the individual needs of non-standard learners and to promote learner engagement.
Learning materials will take the form of a customised course text developed by the delivery team with examples contextualised to suit the auto-biographies of the learners and also the workplace environment. Learners will be encouraged to engage actively in the learning process through questioning and discussion.
