Target Audience
DELIVERY OPTIONS
This course is designed to be used as a self-study allowing learners to work independently and at their own pace, concentrating on the areas they need most. This approach is effective when there are only one or two learners at a time or when the learners are spread out geographically.
However, when multiple learners are involved, the materials are ideal for use in a blended learning approach by combining self-study with periodic review and application sessions to capitalize on the benefits of classroom learning.
Finally this course can be used in a purely classroom setting facilitated by an Edge instructor. Depending on the amount of prework assigned, if any, the workshop can be conducted over a 2-3 day period.
