Our learning platform gives you the opportunity to interact with your fellow educators on the course and share your learnings with one another.
At the end of every module, there is a reflection question that you will engage with. Through this engagement, you will be able to apply what you have learnt to real life scenarios.
At the end of the course you will engage in a capstone project to test your knowledge and put your newly acquired expertise into use.
