How long does the Developing Social Skills program take to complete?

The Developing Social Skills program has three modules and each of these modules has a varying number of lessons within them. Each animated video varies from as little as 4 minutes and as long as 20 minutes. How long a lesson takes to complete is based on the length of the animated video plus how long it takes to download the lesson summary and then correctly answer the questions in the short test that follows each lesson. There are end of module tests and a final exam when all the lessons have been completed which will also take time to do. There are also two offline assignments that students are required to complete and hand to their teacher. Some students have independently completed the program over an intensive focus period of a week whereas other students prefer to do only one or two lessons in a week in private study or class time.

Is there any marking for teachers to complete?

The program is self contained and self paced. All quizzes, tests and exams are marked by artificial intelligence. The examination system is extremely robust to ensure the standard of learning is maintained. A Lifebook and Workbook assignment can be downloaded by each student to complete before the final exam where teachers may be required for assistance to complete.

The Developing Social Skills program introduces practical social skills to young people 13 to 17.

More importantly this program provides clear reasons and benefits as to why social skills are so important to each and every one of us.

How long has this program been assisting people develop their social intelligence?

The Developing Social Skills program was originally created as an adjunct to the Employment Advantage program 18 years ago. It was noted during trials of the Employment Advantage program that students who had certain social skills gained employment more quickly and maintained that employment for longer. The original program was delivered face to face in schools by teachers who had been trained in the delivery of the program. Due to the success of the Employment Advantage, it was decided to take the Developing Social Skills online. Although challenging the idea that social skills needed a face to face delivery to work, animation and careful information structuring, has made this program a leader in the area of teaching social intelligence online. This program is now a popular choice for busy teachers and those wishing to empower their students with a clear knowledge and understanding of how important social skills are to personal and career success.
