At Fontys, the BDB consists of four teaching roles: supervisor and coach of learning processes, educational redesign specialist, examiner (BKE) and professional.

• Reflection, intervision
• Portfolio review
• Giving and receiving feedback

Time investment

The average time investment for the BDB is 150 hours, during which you will already be working on your portfolio during the meetings. There are five meetings from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and five meetigns from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. In addition, nine interim meetings are planned from 9 to 12 a.m., during which you will process the themes offered, give and receive feedback and work on your portfolio. No trainer is present during these interim meetings; you will work in al learning team. In addition, there are hours that are not scheduled but that you need to compile your portfolio, process theory, develop evidence and reflect.
