Training methodology:

The methodology is based on interactive learning, i.e. learners will learn by doing. Furthermore learners will use examples from their own organisations, thus ensuring that the learning is anchored at their workplace.

Theory will be firmly based on the practical application of concepts in reality. Theory will be supported by case studies of actual projects that learners are working on.

As with all DCT training programmes, we strive to effect actual change back at the workplace through effective and practical outcomes based training.

Assessment method:

Those embarking on this learning journey will be assessed by means of learning activities, written assignments and a portfolio. This portfolio of evidence must incorporate the essential principles and concepts addressed during this learning guide and must be handed in according to the negotiated schedule.
