"assessmentMethods": "Both formative and summative assessment will be utilised across the course. Both types of assessment are relevant to students achieving the learning outcomes. \n\n**Formative assessment**\n\nFormative assessment provides students with structure in their study to guide them through content and skill development as well as enable instructors and tutors to support their learning experience. \n\nA wide variety of formative assessment will be used in the course to assist students to identify their learning needs as well as build on their strengths and provide instructors with opportunities to individualise support through individualised feedback. \n\nWhile formative assessment does not carry a grade contributing to the final grade for any given module, it is essential for student learning and effective student support. \n\n**Summative assessment**\n\nSummative assessment is designed to evaluate student achievement in relation to the learning outcomes and all summative assessment contributes to the final grade.\n\nYou will receive feedback on summative assessments within 20 working days of submission date.",
"entryRequirements": "Course participants must have significant experience of delivering training, education and professional development to direct care staff and be in a position to deliver training and support to staff working in health and care organisations. EITHER an honours degree at 2:2 level or above OR qualifications and experience considered to be equivalent to the above.
