Programme Outline
The programme is delivered part-time over one year to trainees employed in the workplace. Trainees will be required to attend one six-hour lesson per week over one year.
These will be primarily based around preparing you for “learning how to learn” and completing verification audits of you meeting the course learning outcomes. The workshops will be based on three separate areas. These areas are:
- Learning to Date
An assessment of what learning has occurred to date and how does that meet the learning outcomes of the course/s.
- Future Learning
The preparation of the learner with the skills and tools for their next element of workplace learning.
- Bespoke Learning
The delivery or facilitation of bespoke learning which cannot be meet within the workplace context.
NOTE: It is envisioned that there will be at times workplaces that cannot provide all the opportunities for learners to meet certain learning outcomes. In response to these situations, we propose to include bespoke classes to meet these learning needs. These classes could be technical (such as patisserie or culinary techniques), design (such as creative practice) or management focused and will be delivered on a needs-based, case-by-case basis.
