Pre-Learning

To maximise learning and provide more comprehensive content, we have redesigned the course by providing pre course self-paced eLearning.

The key content item is “Navigation foundations”, a short 45min eLearning module designed to bring all participants up to a baseline level of navigation knowledge.  Our Instructor led online training sessions will assume this knowledge as we move into more intermediate and advanced content.  You may already know this content, so feel free to skip through it if you wish.  If not, please work through and watch the embedded videos and listen to the content.  Come to us with any questions in the first Instructor led session.  We hope it proves enjoyable and informative.   Be on the lookout for an email from This email address is being protected from spambots.
