You will learn through a mixture of practical and classroom sessions:
The theory of teaching a skill,
How to break down bell handling into easy stages that the learner can master,
How to adapt to different learning types,
The different levels of instruction, and
The benefits of intensive teaching.

The course will be held in the Good Samaritan Room within Leighton Buzzard church, above the coffee shop. A side exit that leads to the ringing room, so we won’t be disturbing any other activities that may be occurring in the church. Lunch can be provided if you wish, the cost is to be decided but will certainly be less than £5, payable on the day. There are also lots of good coffee shops, pubs and restaurants around the town if you prefer.

The map of Leighton Buzzard shows the location of the main car parks. Note that car park charges have increased recently, although £6-50 buys an all-day ticket. The most secure car park is the multi-storey with its security guards and cameras. A good alternative is to park in the large free car park belonging to Linslade church, which is marked on the map and is 0.6 miles/12 minutes walk away from Leighton Buzzard church where the course is being held.
