Course overview and delivery format
This is a degree level qualification and as the course has a minimum teaching hours requirement, you will need to attend all study sessions in addition to completing tasks in between these sessions.
This course will be delivered online via Microsoft Teams. YSJ Learn, our Moodle CPD platform, will be used for assessment submission and teaching. Two days of blended learning (10:00am - 5:00pm) will be delivered.
Course assessment will be a mixture of formal written assignments, group-based tasks and group discussion. During the course, you will also be required to arrange two meetings with a senior leader within your own school to discuss your subject leadership of physical education.
There will be an opportunity for each student to book online tutorials if they require more support with the course material and/or assessment task.
