Each course is offered in a flexible delivery mode that begins with a five day residential session where students are introduced to relevant concepts and theories, develop an action plan, then undertake work-based learning projects for the next ten weeks. There is a follow-up two day residential session where work is presented. Students then document their learning in a written assignment. For students enrolled full-time internal, regular tutorial contact will be maintained throughout the semester. It is an expectation that students have private access to a computer and the internet.
