Half-day Release Course
We run two fifteen-week terms per year. Thanks to excellent co-operation from our consultant colleagues, access to the teaching is very good. There is overnight Residential each year.
Term themes
Each term has a mixture of structure and flexibility.
 |
Flexibility comes from planning days, individual freedom of GPRs to choose topics and a number of free session to deal with hot topics or unfinished issues from past weeks. |
|
For structure there are course themes which ensure that all main topic areas are covered over a three year cycle. |
