Have you found that exam board webinars just don’t cut the mustard? Have you had enough of those laborious and frustratingly bland webinars, as a non-committal advisor skirts around the questions that you type into the corner of the screen? One-by-one, you watch the other ‘participants’ leave the training, and wonder when to ‘jump’ yourself.
This course offers face-to-face training with like-minded colleagues, under the expert guidance of our inspirational trainer and expert English teacher, who will provide you with a bank of teaching resources, sample answers, revision materials and inspirational teaching strategies that you can use with your class the very next day. The course materials build upon OFQUAL descriptors and reference all major boards; the examples, approaches and resources are appropriate for students of all boards.
