Style of Delivery
Learning is self-directed and learners spend time working through the online exercises. Guide-lines are provided on which activities to have completed by specific dates so that learners can plan their time and meet the dates for completion. Dependent upon individual skill level and English proficiency, each learner will spend approximately 6 hours working through the content.
Group Coaching Sessions
In order to support this self-directed learning, it is recommended that learners attend group coaching sessions via live online video. This encourages social learning with peers, is highly interactive and provides a fun, competitive element to the learning process, as well as providing guidance and support to keep learners engaged and motivated. Accent Labs offers hourly sessions presented by one of our highly qualified voice therapists. At least two and preferably three sessions are suggested for the course.
