The programme is delivered using blended learning i.e. face to face and online learning. This means some of your lessons will be delivered via Moodle (our online learning platform), which will require you to have a computer and internet access at home.

Work experience

You will spend approximately 2-3 days per week for ten weeks putting your skills into practice by completing supervised work experience (we will help you find a placement).
