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.

Business Teacher

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.
