The Certificate Programme provides flexibility for working professionals by offering classes live online twice weekly for one hour each evening. Additional self-paced learning is supported through reading assignments, videos, and other resources accessed from a virtual learning environment available at any time of day. Three intensive workshops spaced throughout the semester provide opportunities for in depth learning of specific topics and group work that focuses on application of concepts.
Each of the four programme modules is taught by specialists in the field of Montessori, Psychology or Gerontology, giving students the opportunity to learn from skilled professionals who can mentor them in applying evidence-based strategies to improve the lives of older adults.
