Key messages

Linked to the overall objective for this module above, there are also a number of key messages that learners should understand and take away with them at the end of this session. These include:

1. As Learners themselves, the participants will have their own learning needs to continuously update as they move forwards

2. How to validate this module.

Task (10 minutes)

Ask each participant to consider what their own learning needs are following this module.

Is there anything which they feel they need to go away and learn more about, or work with somebody more experienced? Make notes of what they would like to do.
