Course Content
The education is divided into 6 blocks of learning. We have worked to create layers of understanding and knowledge so that you can refer back to the online material throughout the course and use your face to face training to practice what you’ve learnt and really focus on your skills as a teacher. This will allow you insights into movement, repertoire and pathology without being overwhelmed by too much information in one go. You will first receive access to each block’s online course material to go through before the face to face workshops and tutorials which will build on the knowledge acquired through the online learning.
