Can your programmes be tailored to 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/people to create content that is inline with their/your philosophies. Additional costs for customisation may be required.

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.
What is the minimum class size?
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 participant implication. We also offer online class options which has a varied cost per participant. Please contact us for more details about this.
