The lesson plan is based on 21 or 10 days of teaching, with full time and part time sessions respec-

tively. However, the trainer has the freedom to extend the training for two more days based on the

personal judgement of the class and participants.

This lesson plan has been developed to fulfil the requirements of Element 1-11 of IGC (2019 syllabus

likely that some learners will have practical experience of some of the issues covered in the course.

Others are likely to have little or no knowledge of the subject matter. In the introduction at the start of
