Learning outcomes of the learning unit
By the end of the course, the students will be able to:
- describe the characteristics of the adults being trained
- describe the various methods of adult training, not only those related to group training but also the more recent training strategies
- know the various methods that can be used within a training strategy
- to reflect about and define a personal training philosophy with respect to adult training
- to be exposed to various training methods and to develop a critical assessment of those methods
