Questions
Tool tip: Elsewhere I have used 'Modular format', defined as "Modular format: Contact hours condensed in to a few multi-day sessions per course." Can we use one term (even if this means altering the definition) to cover those that are currently block and that are modular?
Not sure that my course range for the last programme requirement will give the same result as the schedule?
- What does approved mean? What is the process? For so few courses to select from is another approval actually required?
