My teaching experience really differed from tutor to tutor. On a whole I thought the LPC was a lot more spoon fed than uni - you’re given solutions for almost everything you cover in tutorials - but also a lot more rote learning and memorisation than my uni experience.For the Accelerated LPC I think I had more contact time in Stage 1 than Stage 2. You do all your skills and core modules in Stage 1. Then your three electives over six weeks in Stage 2.In Stage 1 I was in for scheduled tutorials maybe 2-3 hours a day, 5 days a week. In Stage 2 it was more like 4-5 hours a day, 5 days a week. In retrospect it doesn’t sound like a lot but this is excluding the time you spend preparing for your tutorials (roughly 1 hours of prep for 1 hour of tutorials, but could be more depending on the particular tutorial), reading/watching/attending lectures, going over your past tutorials, and doing the occasional skills assessment in Stage 1.
