Teaching methods and instruction

Learning methods
This implementation is fully web-based, asynchronous online course, which means that we don’t meet face-to-face, there is no mandatory scheduled online meetings and all resources are also online. Also, you may adapt your own pace even though there is a suggested timetable.

Recognition of prior learning (RPL)
If students have acquired the required competence in previous work tasks, recreational activities or on another course, they can demonstrate their competence and thus progress faster through their studies. More information and instructions for recognising and validating prior learning (RPL) are available at MyNet.
