Teaching and Learning Methods
We recognise that all students learn differently and for some it may be a return to the classroom following a break from formal learning. Our tutors will work with you to ensure that their teaching methods support the way that you like to learn.
One key teaching and learning method is that of demonstration. Your tutors will ensure that demonstrations are used whenever possible so that you can see the practical skills being used and then you can practice the skills. You will work collaboratively with your peers in group work and within practical patisserie sessions.
Following demonstrations you will have hands on practical time where you will be learning complex preparation and cooking methods, food safety and professional working practices.
There will be dedicated individual/self-study times on your programme which needs to be supported by your own study outside of the college learning environment. E-learning is also a key element of our courses and will involve you using our Canvas platform and dynamic learning for independent study. Your tutors will support you in preparing for assessment alongside your own responsibility for your learning.
Your time spent in class will be 14 hours for your main qualification plus 3.8 hours additional for GCSE maths and 3.8 hours additional for GCSE English or 1.5 hours for each functional skill (subject to prior qualifications). This will be calculated and confirmed at enrolment. In addition you will be required to complete a minimum of 20 hours of work placement during the year.
You are required to do at least 3 hours independent study, guided by your tutor.
