Frequently ask questions
What else do you
need to know?
Are there any other things that you were wondering about that perhaps we can answer right here and save you some time?
Do you travel to everywhere in ireland?
The Academy of Purpose team are more than willing to visit any location in the 32 counties of Ireland. To reduce running costs we recommend trying to run multiple class programmes concurrently whenever possible. (Entrance to schools may be affected by current pandemic restrictions.)
Can your programmes be tailored to our specific needs?
Yes, in some circumstances. We are always open to customising our programmes where the need calls for it. A lot of time and thought has gone in to developing the courses to meet the requirements of its participants. Nevertheless, we will always endeavour to work with organisations to create content that is inline with their philosophies. Additional costs for customisation may be required.
How can we use your courses for other Groups?
We have specifically designed our programmes for certain demographics as this leads to more tailored content that speaks to the participant personally. As we learn from feedback and suggestions we will broaden our reach with more versions of courses for other demographics. We recommend where possible following our target group suggestions.
What type of online journaling do you use?
Our WordPress LMS is one the industry leading ones, DesignThemes LMS Addon. This allows paid students access to a private secure area that enables them to record their progress over the course of their programme. This also hosts their reflective journal and resources they can use going forward.
What pedagogical approach does AOP use?
Generally as a rule of thumb the AOP team work on a needs based analysis for every learning situation, adapting our pedagogical approach on what is most suited at the point in time. Nevertheless, we tend to lean towards a more Learning-Centred Pedagogy whilst our pedagogical approach in delivery is a mixture of constructivist, collaborative, integrative, inquiry based and reflective.
Our class size is much smaller, what can we do ?
Our class size minimum requirement is based upon the costs required to meet our running costs and therefore we do offer programmes for smaller classes although it will have price per student implication. We also offer online class options which reduce the cost per student. Please contact us for more details about this.
