How will the programme be delivered?

Our blended learning approach to delivery means you have a choice of studying face to face with online learning or 100% online learning.

Both choices include group learning at workshops, which means you can interact with tutors and others who are learning through a fun and supportive, live, and virtual platform. There’s also flexible access to online activities on demand such as forums for discussion and other learning activities.

Each module is delivered in study blocks - two or more for each topic, depending on your study approach.

If you choose face-to-face learning, workshops normally take place at our Training Centre, based in Finningley near Doncaster – this is close to Robin Hood Airport and really easy to get to from the M18 and M62 motorways.

We are happy to talk to you about delivering at other locations, such as your workplace, and the costs and options available to you based on how many learners there are.

What is the duration of the programme?

Your programme will take approximately 24 months to complete.

How will the qualification be assessed?

Assessment for each of the modules is through written assignments – there are no exams.
