Programme
A practical two-day course involving exercise, case studies, formal presentations and tutor-facilitated discussions. This programme is delivered as a ‘Live’ Webinar, via Zoom, making full use of the break-out facility so that the same level of interaction between participants and with the programme director can be maintained. The same exercises are used regardless of delivery format. As near as possible, the virtual experience replicates the classroom experience – but without the commute!
The course consists of a short introductory session (20-30 minutes) followed by four ‘Live’ Webinar classroom sessions (2.5 hours each, including a 15-minute break). It uses a case study as the basis of a series of exercises so that you can try out the techniques as
your learning builds.
