What is the structure of the programme? The year long programme is delivered through self-tutored cluster groups, supported and guided by the LA. Each cluster group decides on its own learning path, dependent on prior experience and interests, using learning materials available on the web or from other sources.

The programme is planned and organised to support and enhance current work, through a self-reflection learning model and active learning in the workplace .

During this year-long programme, participants will attend three study days and will take turns in facilitating up to ten self-directed twilight study sessions. Participants will also be expected to undertake home study. NPSLBA
