Before attending each of the two facilitated online workshops, the typical activities to complete each phase are as appended below.

The Sequence of A Typical Walkthrough of Each Module

• A typical walk-through of a Module 2 consists of the following:

  1. Pre-reading [Maximum of a half hour]
  2. Download and Complete the template [Maximum of one hour]
  3. Attend a Facilitated Online Workshop [Maximum of three hours]

Pre-readings assigned are blog articles. Participants are recommended to complete them before the session as it serves as 'bite-sized' background information, allowing participants to familiarize themselves with the concepts to be discussed. 

It would also assist participants in completing their assignment in the following 1-hour online session.

Once the schedule for the specific phase is confirmed, you will be notified to proceed to download the assignment template and have your first attempt at completing the specific module.

What if you are completing the form and do not understand the purpose or requirement of the field that you are completing?

Objectives of Session

The objective is to fully understand the purpose and requirements of each entry in the assignment template before you attend the corresponding online workshop.
