This course includes a range of remote modules, based on robust research and evidence, following a structure that over the length of the course covers:
> What does the research say?
> What are the implications for my planning?
> Examples, case studies and avoidances
> A chance for reflection – What do I need to do more of and less of to apply these principles of research?
> So how do I strategically put this evidence to work to give it the best chance of success?
