Blended Learning Modalities:

The methodology of the training is based on a combination of three important elements:

Provision of knowledge required (theory)

Use of training tools, such as case studies, videos, games, animations & exercises (practice – hands on experience)

Feedback/reflection (review)

During the delivery of the course, the participants will receive hard copy material, which will cover the content to be presented in all five (5) days of the seminar. The material will be presented in a form of Power Point (PPT) presentations, videos & animations. Moreover, the active involvement and hands on experience of the participants will be secured through various training tools, such as case studies, worksheets, scenarios & exercises. These training tools are necessary to ensure that the theoretical knowledge gained by the participants can be used in real life scenarios; an important aspect & added value for any training course.
