We are now delighted to offer this course online as a live two-part workshop on the date and times below.

This course will run twice a year – once in the morning and once in the afternoon – to facilitate different time zones.

Day 1 – Thursday 1st May 2025, 0900-1300 BST

Day 2 – Thursday 8th May 2025, 0900-1300 BST 

This course, delivered by Dr Susan Ebbels and Hilary Nicoll, is suitable for those who are confident with all the material in The SHAPE CODING Part 1 course, are experienced in using the system and wish to extend their knowledge of its use for more complex language. The SHAPE CODING Practical Applications course may be more suitable for those who would like to increase their confidence in using the Part 1 course content in practical situations.

We recommend allowing at least three months between the Part 1 and Part 2 courses so participants have time to put their prior learning into practice and therefore gain more from the Part 2 course. A pre-course assignment will assess suitability for this course. Please complete this well before the course date and ask for a copy in advance if you are unsure.

This course involves active participation in workshops with support and feedback. The content is tailored to attendees’ needs, but is likely to cover:

» When to put a shape inside or outside of another
» Advanced verb work
» Complex sentences
» Pronouns
» Passives
» Question formation
» Conjunctions

Cost: £200. Bookings will close 10 days before the course.
