Modules I - V may be taken separately; Modules VI - X must be taken together. All ten modules must be taken to qualify for the Trinity Cert.
Modules I - V consist of 20 x 50-minute sessions, and are tutor-led with reading and preparation for each class. Students will be required to have the set text (to be annnounced) which is likely to be the same for all three modules.
Modules VI - X require self-study, asynchronous sessions, tasks and written assignments. Any required texts will be announced. Credit transfer of Modules I - V and the Trinity Cert enrolment procedure are to be announced.
Dates and times for each module will be announced; Saturday sessions, 9.00am - 2.00pm (Chile time) are likely. If you can get a group of friends or colleagues together for a closed session, you may be able to choose dates and times.
Fees are to be announced; please note that the modular programme offers flexibility and the opportunity to "pay as you go" but is likely to cost more overall than the Regular online option with its single upfront payment.
