What the course looks like

​

• Where is the course based?

Pendle, East Lancashire

​

​

• How is the course run?

This is a co-operative course offering support and challenge for students, using a combination of in-person learning in a comfortable environment, and online learning.  We believe that this combination best reflects recent changes in our working practices due to the pandemic.

​

There will be workshop activities, tutorials, skills development, reflection on and in practice, analysis of working practice and self, plus peer and facilitator assessment.  Learning is demonstrated through portfolio and assignment work.

The atmosphere will be conducive to adult learning, whilst also encompassing the philosophy of Carl Rogers in relation to teaching and learning.  There is recognition that course participants will bring a wealth of personal and professional experience to the course which will be used sensitively within the group to allow personal and professional learning to take place.
