The purpose of the lecture is to provide the learner with a broad overview of each topic in the syllabus. Learners will be required to supplement this with significant independent reading and research in the area. Lectures will be in a format that encourages active learning and learner autonomy and will form the basis for further critical independent inquiry. |

Practicals |
|
Contact |
The key applied competency skills are developed by learners in a practical environment whilst working both individually and in groups. Practical classes allow learners to explore and develop real world applied learning environment in the application of theory. In addition practical experience enables learners to develop mastery of advanced specialised skills and practices associated with each module. |
