“Continuous pedagogic advice from the faculty members and educational staff”.
Knowledge transfer is done in a continuous and direct way.
Participants set their own learning rhythm, adapting it to their needs and capabilities.
The TPM pedagogical model is based on the use of a learning structure which facilitates the access to an educational environment through learning and communication tools, teaching resources and continuous pedagogic advice from the faculty members and educational staff.
The knowledge transferability is done in a continuous and direct way in order to improve the work of the student.
The training programs are designed and applied in a flexible way. Students start their learning process by following the schedule proposed by the teaching staff, but they set their own learning rhythm, adapting it to their needs and capabilities.
The teaching materials are designed in order to allow the students to be their own learning administrators.
The faculty teams act as tutors and learning providers, promoting the communication and guiding the students throughout their learning process.
A system of continuous evaluation assesses the accomplishment of the learning objectives and the students’ grade of satisfaction. Therefore, their real needs can be contrasted with the results obtained according to different evaluation tools.
