Course Description

The 3-day courses run from Monday - Wednesday and from 9am - 6pm. Before the course, you have a pre-course task that you can take online. This will take you about 3 hours to complete and will gently warm you up and get you thinking about your course.

As well as covering all the modules below, you will also have a chance to put the theory into practice. On each day you will have the chance to deliver your own lesson. For many students on the course, this is the most important part as it really gives you the opportunity to find out what teaching is like and the chance to work on your teaching skills in a supportive learning environment.
