Innovations in learning
What sets our programme apart? Here’s a glimpse at our unique approach:
- Flipped Learning Style: The journey begins with engaging eLearning modules, complemented by personal tutor sessions that reinforce and expand upon what they’ve learned online. This innovative method ensures that apprentices are well-prepared for practical application in the classroom.
- Real-world Application: Apprentices will engage with various scenarios and case studies, applying their knowledge to practical situations and real-world challenges. This hands-on approach fosters critical thinking and adaptability.
- Access to AoA Resources: We’ve teamed up with the Association of Apprentices to offer a comprehensive library of valuable learning materials, providing your apprentices with additional resources to support their studies.
- Focus on Personal Development: The programme encourages self-growth, teaching reflective practices, self-development skills, and academic writing. This holistic approach nurtures well-rounded educators ready to inspire their students.
