The programme offers two tracks:
Track 1: Online only
A 21-week programme made up of four strands (courses).
Each strand takes approximately 3-4 weeks to complete.
Learning is delivered online with weekly content releases via FutureLearn. This programme can be self-paced to fit around other commitments, however you are expected to keep pace with each Strand release in order to finish on time and with your final assignment submission.
Track 2: Online with face-to-face experiential workshops
A 21-week programme with mixed learning types to help participants develop a depth of practice and work with others to deliver a greater impact.
Participants access the same online learning as Track 1 participants and meet face-to-face in three full day facilitated workshops in Leeds.
Workshops start at 9:30 am and finish at 4pm.
Participants must hold their chosen cohort dates and have agreement with their line manager for time away and commitment to the workshops. Attendance for the full day and all workshops are mandatory to complete this programme.
