"The tutors are world class"

The tutors are world class and are serious about teaching methodology and making it accessible to the participants. They know how to teach teachers, which is no easy task!

The course’s advertisment at 80 hours is a huge understatement and should be adjusted. Sure, some could do it in this time but considering the target applicants, the complexity of assignments etc you’d be quite impressed to see someone spend less than 150 hours. Budget 7 serious hours of work per week every week including the holiday outside of class time and add meetings and rehearsals on top of that.

Sometimes Google classroom felt a bit unintuitive to navigate and it wasn’t always clear what was what. That’s not to say it was messy but I think things could be cleared up a little. Sometimes the critical information wasn’t easy to decipher and you could go round in circles. This takes into account my own personal idiosyncrasies so ymmv.

You should put a lot of work in from the get go and to be honest be prepared for a rough time if you are already teaching full time. It’s a very thorough process. Also be mindful of screen time. If you are working on a computer all day this will take its toll so prepare yourself and don’t wait for the difficulty to increase. Get ahead of it and be on the ball.
