The NCCA guidelines give teachers significant flexibility in designing and delivering Transition Year modules, allowing them to tailor them to their school's context and students' needs. Our coding and digital skills TY modules are each designed for 8-10 week rotations, typically involving approximately 10 classroom hours of student engagement, which can be integrated into the TY programme as standalone units or combined with other components. Schools may adapt the modules, including teaching approaches and school-based assessments such as portfolios or projects, to reflect specific learning priorities and align with the broader aims of the TY Programme Statement.
