Can you provide information about the faculty members who will be teaching the program?
Tutors and lecturers are recruited based on their knowledge, experience, and qualifications in relation to the subject they are teaching. Typically tutors will have at least one qualification higher than the subject level they are teaching and will have some relevant experience in that subject. Tutors are observed regularly, and Continuing Professional Development plays a significant role in their employment. Although some lecturers will be hourly paid, we also intend to have a team of full-time tutors to give students a sense of stability throughout their studies.
