What attendees say

This was a fantastic course to attend, having never taught the Tech Award before I was hoping I’d learn a few things about the course. I can honestly tell you I left the course feeling like a specialist after the day, fully resourced and ready to teach my team. Both presenters were lovely and informative...I managed to also connect with other teachers which was a bonus. Definitely would recommend new and current teachers to attend this course.

Health & Social Care Teacher

A fantastic course. Well structured and led with good support around assessment and lots of practical suggestions and resources.

Health & Social Care Teacher

The session was well organised and engaging, both of the presenters had good knowledge of what they were delivering and were able to explain everything very clearly. I learned a lot from the course and it has made me feel more confident moving forward with delivery and marking. I would recommend this course.

Health & Social Care Teacher

The course was well organised and excellent value for money. The venue is ideal as it a 10 minute walk across the bridge from Waterloo and the food was excellent. The two ladies hosting the event were knowledgeable and up to date which made it really valuable for someone new to the spec. The day was organised by going through each component which made it easy to follow. It was lovely to network with other practitioners and an added bonus was the free resources to support and develop learning in the classroom - a very worthwhile course.
