What attendees say
This is the first time that I have attended one of these courses and it was brilliant, so much so that i have recommended the other subject areas to my counterparts at the school. The resources provided and presenters were spot on. Issues I hadn't even considered were raised and solutions offered. All in all the best use of my time in a long while. Thank you.
Economics Teacher
I thoroughly enjoyed the training and found the exam advice exceptionally valuable! I feel a lot more equipped to teach Economics to my A Level students and I'm looking forward to using the strategies and resources you've so generously provided.
Economics Teacher
The CPD was spot on! It provided me with exactly what I needed to know as a new Economics teacher: how to teach some of the basic concepts as well as some more complex ones. And thanks for all the tips provided during the training. I have also found the course materials invaluable.
