Apps Labs courses are fully mentored. That means that a person who has done what you are learning to do will help you through your course. Your mentor will contact you to discuss your particular interests and experience so that the course outcomes can be tailored to suit you.
You will be given a contact email for your mentor. Use this to ask questions, have something explained or to learn about his/her experiences.
Your mentor will keep in touch through your course to make sure you are making progress.
How the courses work.
* All courses are mentored. Someone who has actually done what you are learning will help you through the process.
* You study in your own time at home or through work. There are no formal classes although in some cases there may be online workshops or conferences. Your mentor will let you know details. All resources are online including web resources that your mentor may direct you to.
* Courses are broken up into smaller easy to manage Modules. You are free to choose individual Modules depending on your interests. Courses are a convenient way to picture your learning path through a topic.
Although you don’t enroll in Courses as such, just Modules, keep in mind that some Modules contain building-blocks topics for subsequent Modules. For example if you are interested in keeping animals on your farm then you may need to start with Modules on plant nutrition and soils. This can lead to Modules on pastures and then onto more advanced livestock Modules that cover topics like growing feed from pastures.
To help see how the Modules fit together we have prepared a Module map Map of Apps Labs modules.
Each module should take around 20 hrs of study time. You should aim to complete a Module within 6 weeks.
* There are practical outcomes for each Module. Typically this will be a plan of action based on what you have learnt that will help you move forward. Your mentor will help you.
* You will get a statement of completion at the end of each module that shows all the topics covered and the practical outcomes achieved.
* Just email Dr Tim Apps at info@appslabs.com.au to get started. You will get a link to detailed course notes and resources.
