Nuts and Bolts guides are intended to offer practical guidance for practitioners who are preparing to deliver principal learning in the Diploma at any level.
The guides explain how doing a few specific things in the nine months before delivery begins, and continuing them into delivery of the Diploma, can make a significant difference to the success of teaching and learning.
The line-specific guides are written by people who have worked with Diploma consortia from inception to first teaching. They set out the practical detail of how consortia have tackled particular issues on collaboration and on quality assurance.
