Other updates

The Taught Programme 

We have an excellent and resilient plan using a mixture of live and recorded teaching, some face to face and some remote. We will still be following the 60 hours, so ensure you have read our taught programme pages. Please ensure you have access to the bridge learning platform. We are quite new to this, and our translation to synchronous remote, particularly of our hubs may be slightly rocky, but please bear with us! We hope to do as much face to face learning as social distancing and covid will allow. Feedback is vital to us if we are going to make a great, innovative and useful programme for you. Please regularly check bridge for updates, new content for non core mandatory as well as study leave opportunities are regularly added. There is enough content to complete all the non core elements of the 60 hours taught programme. [we are hoping the core elements can all be delivered face to face]
