Course outline

What is the course about?

An experiential workshop to help students evoke and experience the hidden potential of personal power, and to acquire a range of practical resources with which to support well being.

What topics will we cover?

Development of self-esteem¿
Behaviour and self-esteem
Skills practice
Boundaries and self-protection
Planning for high self-esteem.

By the end of this course you should be able to:

Reflect on the growth of self-esteem
Use behaviour that supports self-esteem
Introduce boundaries that protect the self
Plan for high self-esteem.

What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?

No previous knowledge, skills or experience are necessary. The course is interactive and students are therefore expected to be able to demonstrate a reasonable level of spoken English to benefit from the course. If you are unsure, please see an advisor. Students are also asked to consider specific areas in their lives about which they would like to feel better.

How will I be taught, and will there be any work outside the class?

The course teaching will be a mix of tutor presentations, student exercises and skills practise in small groups, and group discussion. Students will be encouraged to participate and draw upon their own life skills and experience so it is essential to have good spoken English. The tutor will ask you to keep a learning journal throughout the course and to complete some homework outside class.

Are there any other costs? Is there anything I need to bring?

None. A selection of books and a bibliography will be available during the course. Recommended Book: Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway by Susan Jeffers Publishers: Century 97.

Do I need to have an interview before I can enrol?

No.

What feedback will I get?

You will receive regular feedback from your tutor throughout the course, as and when appropriate. At the end of the course you and your tutor are asked to assess the progress you have made. You can expect your tutor to give you feedback both individually and through group discussion.

How will I be able to give my views on the course?

Please complete the evaluation form at the end of your course. These are monitored and help us to continually improve our courses.

How do I find out if I can get some support for my learning?
