We will be using a Blending Learning approach that has been proved to maximise your effective study time while allowing you to better manage your work and personal responsibilities.

What is Blended Learning? In-person classroom activities facilitated by a trained educator. Online learning materials, often including pre-recorded lectures given by that same instructor. Structured independent study time guided by the material in the lectures and skills developed during the classroom experience.  

How do we do this? Using more technology, such as webinars and social media to interact with the tutor and other learners You will gain more digital skills that will help you in the workplace You will also learn using technology, as much of the theory will be in the form of online videos, so it’s less time consuming to learn

What are the benefits of Blended Learning? Blended Learning courses allow learners to take advantage of the flexibility and convenience of an online course while retaining the benefits of the face-to-face classroom experience. Using the different technologies will allow the tutor to help and support learners away from the classroom It also provides the opportunity for students to learn independently from their teacher and can allow teachers to monitor their students’ progress more closely than traditional methods.
