How is the course delivered?
Learners can access the course planned to attend either in person in a classroom environment or live online.
During the session they will be learning in a variety of ways: • Learning from their peers/teacher • Sharing what has been learnt on the course • Question and answering techniques • Engaging in practical activities • Actively listening, observing and discussing • Completing documentation • Accessing apps and websites for further learning opportunities
How will my learning be assessed?
The teacher will use a range of activities to review learner’s knowledge throughout the course and identify any gaps and additional information required. Learners will receive feedback in order to further develop their knowledge. Learners will assess their knowledge at the start of the course and again at the end against the learning outcomes. This allows them to identify how much they have learnt and where they might need to do further study or research. Learners will also be supported to set an individual target(s) for the course based on personal goals and aspirations. Learners will be completing a learning mat to evidence progression which will be completed during the session. This can be emailed by the teacher prior to the session for those accessing the online version of the course.
Classroom – If learners are physically able to, there is an opportunity to practise CPR during this session which may involve kneeling on the floor. Learners must let the teacher know if they are unable to participate in the practical activities. Learners are asked to wear appropriate clothing when participating in the practical floor activities.
Online – Please join the online course 15 mins before the planned start time. A large cushion or firm pillow will be required for practising the child CPR techniques. If learners have a doll or teddy these can used instead of a manikin when practising the correct techniques for smaller children and babies. Alternatively, a pillow or cushion can be used. The teacher will guide and assess learners during these activities. The Additional Learning Support Team work across college supporting students with a variety of learning needs in different ways. Support can be requested at enrolment or at any point throughout your course
