It has a process-oriented and collegial working method where the participants focus on their own development needs, reflection on their own practice and mutual colleague observation of master’s supervision. The programme includes several compulsory and voluntary gatherings, digital learning resources, development work in cross-faculty teams, as well as two work requirements. The scope of work corresponds to around 60 hours.
