The Centre offers the opportunity to participate in a mode of learning that motivates\u00a0the learner to\u00a0reach\u00a0their potential\u00a0and develop their skill and for the benefit of the service.\u00a0 Through traditional methods of training and the integration of technology we offer the support and encouragement any learner needs as they embark upon a new journey of discovery.\u00a0
The Centre also uses the open-source Moodle facility to provide resources within a Virtual Learning Environment <\/strong>that will be accessed by Students only.\u00a0 This facility offers Students access to video and audio teaching to support any direct teaching that has been set in place for them.\u00a0 A range of subjects have been identified by Qualifications Scotland as the key components of Social Care, therefore, workbooks have been made accessible for Students to enable a depth of understanding of key concepts and theories to underpin the experience and practice the Students bring.
For those who may be studying elsewhere, or even searching for knowledge resources for their professional development, subscription to the Knowledge Hub is available.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
