What attendees say
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
It was superb - extremely informative. I will now be able to start teaching it in September with confidence. Many thanks to all involved.
