  • develop an understanding for the “real life” case centred approach
  • integrate both principles and practice via the use of text materials and transaction-model development
  • reinforce learning and review progress through self-evaluation and assessment

The learning materials are designed to be relevant to practitioners and as such will also be a useful reference source in the workplace.
