From Our Learners
“A great course, with lots of opportunities to learn new skills. I had a fantastic, professional and supportive mentor, who was previously a teacher and understood the pressures and timings of a primary educational setting and he was able to share from his experience how different aspects and skills might benefit my class and my school.”
“The course provided me with lots of aspects of technology that I otherwise would not have thought about or reflected upon in my daily practice. The course has supported me to enhance my use of digital technologies to improve the learner experience.”
“My time learning with BLC was very enjoyable. The course perfectly fit into my busy schedule due to flexible online meeting times with my assessor and the ability to work completely online. The course content felt tailor made for me, being exactly what I needed to learn to improve my practice.”
“Course content was relevant, interesting and enjoyable. Course resources provided by BLC were excellent and my assessor was extremely friendly, approachable and helpful at all times. I would certainly recommend this course and the support provided by the BLC.”
