Teaching methods

Hybrid course: modules 1, 3 and 6 face-to-face; modules 2, 4 and 5 synchronous and asynchronous distance learning.

Each module lasts 3 hours.  To this must be added time to prepare or carry out short assignments after the course. In total, 18 hours of training and 3 hours of individual work are required for the entire course.

The course is designed to be scientifically grounded and to provide a forum for exchange, practice and reflection. It therefore combines theoretical aspects with an active teaching approach.

Evaluations

Assessment of the training programme is based on two criteria:

    Attendance at the 6 training modules
