Study
time
It
is expected that you will spend approximately 15 hours on this
section (i.e. all the activities you undertake with your group
- under the guidance of your facilitator, in reaction to the needs
of members of the group - leading up to completion of assessment
1). This is only a rough guide, however, and the important thing
is that you continue to make steady progress on acquiring evidence
for both of your assessments, and keep in touch with your facilitator.
