WHAT IS 'CLASSIC' LEARNING?
This learning style is entirely classroom based and requires you to attend in person with a group of peers. This benefits those who prefer interactive sessions with the opportunity to ask questions to the instructor.

WHAT IS 'BLENDED' LEARNING?
Blended learning is a combination of online learning with instructor-led training. For this course, delegates will spend 1 day learning theory via our online portal, and then spend 2 days in a classroom with peers. This option minimises time away from the workplace, while maintaining the same, high-standard of learning.
