To cater to those who will have other responsibilities, the interactive sessions are split over two weeks with time at the beginning and end of the work day to check emails, pick up kids and water the plants. Please reach out below to find out more about the flexible attendance options.
Practical and Interactive Learning
One of the core aspects of the programme will be a chance to try out new skills learned each day, receiving and providing feedback in a group setting. This is the most practical way to troubleshoot and discuss as many topics as possible.
