Description
As well as teaching Royal Naval students, Britannia Royal Naval college, Dartmouth, has delivered training to members of the current Royal family, and delivery of both training and education to Commonwealth and various other International naval young officers from around the world. Whilst undertaking their studies in Dartmouth, RN and international students may undertake a range of accredited and unaccredited education and training options.
Staff and students frequently encounter common issues in the delivery of these educational packages to our diverse international student population. Specific issues include: how do staff go about encouraging students to maintain their motivation whilst undertaking challenging academic courses? How able are we to provide up-to-date externally accredited programmes of study incorporating Phase 1 and Phase 2 training-related components, necessary for naval progression? What meaningful CPD opportunities exist for our own staff, to develop their pedagogy within and outside of the college?
