How is the programme delivered?
Delivered by EMA Training
3 face-to-face sessions (one day per week)
Highly practical and interactive, with minimal written work
Assessment evidence gathered mainly during the sessions
Supportive, discussion-based learning environment
The programme is built around real-world NHS teaching practice, not theory. It is delivered using a 'watch, reflect, then apply' approach. You’ll:
Observe good teaching practice being modelled
Reflect on how teaching is planned and adapted for different learners
Apply the same thinking to your own teaching or mentoring role
This helps you understand how effective teaching works in practice, not just what the theory says.
