Cogni-Enhance Educator Training Programme
The Cogni-Enhance Educator Training Programme at Boston City Campus gives teachers practical tools to support learner thinking when classroom performance becomes inconsistent, tasks become more demanding, or the same mistakes keep repeating.
You will learn how to recognise when a learner is not simply being careless, distracted or difficult, but genuinely struggling to manage the thinking demands of the task. The course helps you identify what may be breaking down beneath the behaviour, so you can intervene earlier, support learner thinking more precisely, and reduce repeated reteaching.
The Cogni-Enhance short course is offered via Boston City Campus’s flexible online distance learning model. Students receive structured academic guidance from online educators, alongside personalised study support or at any of our 50 Learner Support Centres nationwide.
This Short Learning Programme is endorsed by the South African Council for Educators (SACE) for 30 Continuing Professional Teacher Development points.
