These sessions aim to help you with your teaching practice.

After each teaching session you will be given detailed feedback on your performance, and you will be given an opportunity to comment, reflect on and learn from the lesson observations.

To be awarded the certificate candidates must pass both components. There are three grades: Pass, Pass B and Pass A.
