We encourage the sharing of information in workshops, and on the VLE, so all our learners are able to understand a range of organisations and industries. Your course will not require you to share any sensitive commercial information and we recommend you do not say, or post, anything that you wouldn’t want to reach the public domain. If your organisation has a policy on sharing information you should follow this.
We really recommend you attend the assessment briefing webinars as they’ll help you understand the assessment brief and provide you with an opportunity to ask any questions.
If you can’t attend the live webinar session you’ll still be able to watch the webinar as a recording.
