How are our modules delivered?
Our modules are delivered either online or face-to-face.
Most of our online modules are self-paced. These courses are delivered via the Online Learning Environment: Blackboard. We also use Microsoft Teams or Zoom to deliver the live elements of these online courses.
Language courses are online or face-to-face, and all the classes are live.
Our face-to-face teaching sessions are usually scheduled for the evening.
Some of our modules are run as weekend intensive courses at other venues in Wales.
