Year 3 on Monday / Year 2 on Tuesday / Year 5 on Wednesday / Year 1 on Thursday / Year 4 on Friday. Year 1 groups are only available in Exeter. The sessions are usually timetabled to be regularly in a morning or an afternoon through the year. It may be possible to swap to a different year group at the end of the academic year. Twelve group sessions are scheduled for each group in the academic year, and then students usually have two or 3 one to one meetings with their tutor over the year to discuss their progress and specific needs. Each group requires a 90-hour annual commitment. This includes one to one meetings with students, reviewing eportfolio written reflections and PDP, and preparation time.
