NZ Instructional techniques course
 

Hi, does anyone here know of any Instructional techniques theory courses taking place soon, anywhere in the country? Thanks in advance.

Nelson Aviation College has one soon.

is this the new 4 day one?

Nah were talking about the "instructional Techniques course" which is a course within a course, its all about ways to get points across, methods of teaching etc. I found the one i did pretty interesting, as the guy teaching it had a degree in teaching and is a PPL, so it was kinda related. I've heard some of the ones out there are boring and a waste of time.

Yes is is boring and a waste of time. Why did it suddenly need to become 4 days instead of 2?

There is a lady in akl by the name of Karen Dobric who teachs it. She also 'teaches the teachers' for the uni or somewhere.

because CAA know whats right heheh :ugh:

At the end of the 2 days (Now 4) you normally give your own briefing on a topic of some sort. Well I did quite enjoy the brief on Circle of Death. Use of resources was excellent.

I must agree the 4 days now is way over the top. I have no idea what so ever how they will cover the extra 2 days. Just stupid if you ask me. Even the lady that takes them doesn't know what to do for the extra days.

FP_Ace, we call it PMI (Principles and Methods of Instruction) in Oz and it runs about 4 days as well. How it's delivered varies from school to school and the exam is inhouse. (Although I think there's a CASA PMI exam for when you're upgrading to a grade 1).

Anyone aware of any courses in AKL up and coming?

i have a friend who did one in tauranga a cupla months back. Try giving Bayflight a call. TG's only a small flight or a few hour drive away from aucks.
