The course activities are specifically designed to encourage participants to apply the knowledge and skills acquired to their school context. The course takes approximately six months to complete and during that time you will attend three one-day training events. In between these events you will keep in contact with your tutor and other group members through our dedicated online learning system and via e-mail.
