Our blended learning classes are run as tutorials, that involve students and their lecturer logging into our online learning platform Moodle and use the online portal Zoom™ simultaneously.
Zoom™ provides and integrative online environment for students and Lecturers to interact and engage in the learning. This platform facilitates discussion polls, sharing of slides, videos resources and much, much more.
To foster more intimate learning environments the use of breakout rooms is also implemented, allowing for the safe and experiential triadic learning practice that we have found so successful.
All of our sessions are accessible through computer and mobile devices and we have a structured and robust technology department to support all faculty and students through their learning journey. To encourage flexibility, and best practice, we also record all our sessions, these are made accessible only to the students in that class to review content whenever is convenient to them!

What former students say about this Programme
Course was well structured with excellent delivery from all facilitators. Thank you so much for a very enjoyable course.
A Heartfelt thank you to Eamonn and Ann for their excellent facilitation of the Diploma in Integrative Supervision course at IICP – and for containing us so well therein. Their presence and skill were exemplary and I really looked forward to attending each month. I now feel equipped and confident in going forth to practice as a supervisor in Wexford.
This course has been very well conceived, constructed and delivered in my experience.
The most interesting and helpful aspects of this course included covering the two models of supervision, how different learning styles transfer to development of personal style, the importance of developing the “inner supervisor” and self-care.
Most helpful was the interactivity of the course, the role plays and the art-therapy training day. I really enjoyed doing the work and connecting.
I thought the structure of the modules was excellent. The module content covered all aspects of supervising theory and practice thoroughly. Well done! Excellent Course!
I really enjoyed the course, it was facilitated very well, interesting, stimulating classes by lecturers with vast experience. Thank you Eamon & Ann for a great experience.
