HOW WE DELIVER OUR TRAINING

Learning journals are a good way of documenting progress and achievement, but are not a formal requirement.

Assessment methods include: recorded discussion, mini presentation, professional discussion, Observation reports/ feedback/ moderation.

You will be expected to complete a minimum of three observation reports over the duration of the qualification. It is expected that improvements in your observation skills would be demonstrated as you progress through the qualification.
