This course is a Hybrid course which involves completion of some modules online followed by 3 days face to face teaching in Edinburgh, Scotland. Assessments will be completed online and during the face to face training. Six weeks are given to complete the online learning but this is for flexibility (to allow for heavy work schedules / holidays) - it is not full time, and delegates may complete their online learning at a convenient time during this six week period.

The price for the course is £1,500 per person. This covers all of the training and teaching materials required. It also includes refreshments & lunches during the three days in Edinburgh. Please note that travel and accommodation are not included.
A discounted price is available to delegates who work within Higher Education.

There is also a full online version of this course, which is also running (please see separate listing).
