The courses are normally taught in one, two or three week modules for groups of up to 20 participants. All inputs are followed by exercises that enable individuals to learn through practice as well as to update and sharpen skills. Participants work in small groups or individually and receive a complete set of notes and course materials and, where relevant, a small library of books and computer software will be provided and left with the participant s organisation. Key participants can also be trained as trainers to enable them to give the course to other groups and thus spread skills and knowledge throughout the country. Edinburgh will also be happy to provide a back up problem solving and advice service as well as add-on training to update skills.
All courses are in English.
