About the course

You will leave the day well-prepared with a new or improved knowledge base, a range of teaching resources and activities to utilise in your lessons, and having tried out various teaching ideas and methods with your colleagues.

All delegates will also receive a printed copy of the tutor2u Unit 1 and Unit 3 Teacher Survival Guides. These cover all the knowledge you require as a teacher for effective and confident delivery, including additional teaching ideas, how to avoid confusion and breakdown common misconceptions.

You can expect the following to be covered in our event programme for each Unit:

  • An overview of the specification and suggestions for how to sequence the delivery of content
  • Recommendations for how to teach the content, in terms of breadth and depth and linked to how it will be assessed (by exam or Pearson Set Assignment)
  • Common misconceptions, sensitive and challenging topics
  • A focus on the trickier and high impact topics
  • Exam and coursework skills

This course will be delivered by two subject specialist hosts with extensive H&SC teaching and BTEC assessment experience.

What attendees say

I just wanted to say that the training I attended on Friday was the best training I have ever had in terms of BTEC. It was absolutely fantastic. Both the trainers were brilliant - knowledgeable, engaging and credible. They were able to answer questions and their knowledge and ability to relate to us as teachers was just brilliant. I feel so much more confident now and very much hope that there will be some more resources on their way with regards to this course because I will be the first to buy! I cannot convey in words how helpful this was!
