What attendees say
This was one of the best training sessions I have ever attended. Delivered vital knowledge about how best to ensure students can access the top grades. The exam format is a key element of our course, and this session delivers the best ways to approach this with our students.
Business Teacher
Knowledgeable course leaders helped us all to better understand the qualification and how we can guide students towards formulating answers that will meet the assessment criteria. I walked away from the course with several ideas about how to improve teaching and learning in Business so that my learners have every opportunity to get the best grade they can.
GCSE Business Teacher
This was an absolutely brilliant course! I came away feeling really fired up and confident about being able to teach Business Studies in the next academic year. The course leaders were very clear, helpful and supportive. The presentation was excellent. The venue and food was also really beautiful. It was a lovely day and how all courses should be!
