GLH- stands for Guided Learning hours
This is the time a student spends being taught or instructed by – or otherwise participating in education or training under the immediate guidance or supervision of – a lecturer, supervisor, tutor, or any other appropriate provider of education or training, whether online or in person.
All uk government students are required to have a minimum of 112 GLH by the support end date.
Tracking GLH
Live Attendance at the scheduled lectures & career services webinars on your bootcamp is required, as these are designed to help you achieve a deeper understanding of the material and meet the GLH requirement. This requirement is set by your funding authority and unfortunately are required to abide by this.
We have recently introduced a GLH tracker on the dashboard. However, please note this is in beta stage and is subject to change.
If you are concerned about meeting this 112 hour threshold, we recommend tracking your attendance in mentor calls, lectures, or webinars in a simple Google Sheet as the UK Government may request this to confirm your completion of the bootcamp so we can award you with your certificate.
While our Bootcamps are designed to be taken asynchronously, we have requirements from the UK Government for synchronous teaching to ensure students are orientated and on track.
a) In the first two weeks (14 calendar days) of your bootcamp, you will also be required to attend - live - any combination of 15 hours worth of 1:1 mentor calls, live lectures, and onboarding webinars. If you are admitted, we will give you as much notice as possible of these sessions so you can schedule them accordingly.
b) In further weeks of your bootcamp, you will have more flexibility on the attendance of these sessions but will be required to attend a total of 112 hours of a combination of mentor calls, live lectures, career support sessions, and onboarding webinars in the 16 weeks - approximately 7 hours per week.
Viewing recordings of lectures and career services events won't count towards a student’s Guided Learning Hours.
