Business studies revision workshops hit the mark
We’ve just completed an exhausting but enjoyable tour of our AQA Business Studies revision workshops. Some fantastic feedback on these events leads us straight into planning the programme for 2008/09.
I suppose we should have had some tour t-shirts printed.
Bristol, London, Cambridge, Leeds, Manchester, Newcastle, Birmingham and Belfast were our locations this year for the AQA AS & A2 Business Studies revision days.
Our programme was delivered by a team of over 15 experienced and enthusiastic business teachers and examiners, led superbly by programme developer Michelle Stephenson and events manager Sharon Curtis. Along the way, we also delivered a programme of revision days for AS & A2 economics, which were also a sell-out.
In total we provided an intensive revision day for over 5,000 students and 450 teachers. Thats a lot of sandwich lunches, and by the end we were getting a little too-used to Pringles, Twix bars, M&S and Pret a Manger fare.
The format has proved very popular, judging by the detailed teacher feedback forms and we’ll aim to build on this for the 2008/09 programme.
We are looking at a wider variety of dates, including pre-Easter and some extra venues too. It is always tempting to focus just on Manchester and London. However, the warm welcome we received in all our venues convinces me that it is important to offer a choice for teachers and students. Exeter, Milton Keynes, Cardiff? We’re looking at a range of extra venues right now.
We are also looking at some additional venues in London, including the N1 Centre Islington and the O2 Arena in Docklands.
Many thanks to everyone who attended the revision workshops and to the presenting and support teams who made them such memorable days.
