Learning methods

The majority of the five years in training is spent in work based experimental learning, which incorporates learning from practice, concentrated practice and learning with peers. However, during phase 1 a greater proportion of time is spent in academic study and programmes will vary in how this is distributed across the first stage of training. This period is taken in lieu of formal study leave. Across the five years a trainee would expect to spend up to 150 days in off the job programme education or in independent self directed learning, which may be used for examination preparation, appraisal, feedback and reflection, maintenance of personal logbook or reading.
