Theory and Practical
Our theory lessons provide the underpinning knowledge required to fully understand the essential skills you will need to demonstrate. Theory is delivered weekly in a face to face classroom environment. There is an expectation on all our programs that an average number of self-directed learning hours need to be completed, using learning materials we provide you.
We keep our class sizes small so learning is effective and students receive the personal tuition they require. Training is light hearted and lots of fun, but we maintain a high professional standard and have been committed to that since 1990.
We also provide a simulated training environment which is a component for all courses and we place a heavy emphasis on learning and practising workplace based competencies.
After the face to face theory and simulated training ANTS arranges WORK PLACEMENT for students,which is mandatory requirement, to consolidate the learning and to conduct assessment.
