Structure and workload

The activities cover 80 hours over 11 months of learning time.

Apart from the online teaching sessions, the training programme will involve participants in practical individual, pair, and group tasks such as lesson planning scenarios, reflective studies and reports, and online sessions and tutorial feedback.

Please note therefore that individual and peer work between teaching sessions, such as pre-tasks, post-tasks and continuous assessment in the form of a portfolio, will be an integral part of the teaching programme.
