🧭 How Our Flipped Classroom Works

In this course, we use a flipped classroom approach. That means you’ll review key materials before each live session, so we can spend our time together applying knowledge, discussing key topics, and practising exam-style answers.

✅ What You Need to Do

📖 1. Review the Lesson Materials
Before each live session, log in to the platform and go through the assigned video, notes, or resources for that topic.

📝 2. Make Notes & Prepare Questions
Take notes and highlight anything you're unsure about—this helps make the live sessions more useful to you.

💬 3. Join the Live Session Ready to Contribute
Come to the session prepared to join in discussions, ask questions, and practise answering. This is your chance to deepen your understanding and get feedback.

🔁 4. Revisit and Review
After each session, revisit any areas you want to strengthen, and use the Q&A-style prep materials to test your understanding.
