8 Learning Experience Hands on Projects Each project will have a different focus, from understanding how to grow a business to serving clients at an agency. Students will get experience in group dynamics, organisational change, technology, platforms and strategy. The aim is for candidates to gain a holistic experience of each project, making their skills easier to apply in the real world. Group Work Collaboration within groups is the foundation of Squared Online. This is what makes the programme different and creates powerful agents of change within the digital marketing industry. Participants will be completing projects in groups created by the Squared Online team for four of the programme modules, which are designed to promote peer-to-peer learning, problem-solving and collaboration, along with developing your digital knowledge. Continuous Assessment There are no exams in Squared Online and no final mark.
