Module Learning Strategies
12 x 3 hours sessions incorporating workshops and individual practice and guided study will support each session.
Independent study and guided learning will support each session. You can expect to spend around 60 hours on computing between the workshops. Self tuition through a Study Pack is expected to take approximately 12 hours and access to tutor and work-based guidance will take place. It is expected that in-house support will facilitate the learning environment and you could expect to spend about 40 hours on work-based learning (some of which will be computing). Additionally you can expect to utilise some web-based enquiry as part of your independent learning.
