What is the CELA Self-Paced Learning Hub
CELA Self-Paced Learning Hub contains workshops that build competence around core areas. We offer a range of workshops designed to increase practical skills that can be applied immediately in your day-to-day practice. Each workshop covers one topic and is broken down into a range of short sessions.
-
They are designed for educators to engage in learning at their own pace.
-
They support a variety of learning styles and feature pre-recorded sessions, activities, resources and assessments.
-
Once completed, the educator will receive a certificate of recognition from CELA that they can share with colleagues via email, and proudly add to the service QIP and their professional profile on platforms like LinkedIn.
