Welcome to Cambridge Professional Development

University of Cambridge International Examinations has a well-established programme of professional training courses for teachers at Cambridge schools. Our training gives teachers the knowledge and skills they need to deliver our programmes and qualifications for 5 to 19 year olds and develop successful Cambridge learners. Here is a guide to the types of training we offer, and the courses available from January 2012 to August 2012. This is an extract from our complete listing which is regularly updated. For the latest information please go to www.cie.org.uk/events

Face-to-face training
Stage 1: Introductory training
Suitable for teachers who may have some experience of teaching but not specifically linked to Cambridge syllabuses, or for those who require a refresher course. Courses provide an introduction to key documents for teachers and to the standards required in the assessment of Cambridge syllabuses. Courses also cover resources available from Cambridge and its partners.

Course content
Content will vary for each syllabus, but typically includes: overview of syllabus design and examination introduction to Cambridge published and endorsed resources IT and curriculum resources. Interactive activities: practical marking activities relating to standards.

Stage 2: Intermediate training

Suitable for teachers who have been working with Cambridge for at least one year. It is preferable, although not essential, that the teacher has completed Stage 1 training. There are currently two types of intermediate course available: 1) Teaching methodology courses review teaching strategies as applied to the delivery of the Cambridge syllabus, and are designed to improve student examination performance. 2) Assessment courses focus on teachers assessment issues, giving them practical marking experience and an update on the latest syllabus developments.

Course content
Content will vary for each syllabus, but typically includes:

Online training
We deliver online training courses via the internet via our virtual learning environment. Courses are available to Cambridge schools worldwide, including schools not directly registered with us. A key feature of these courses is the exchange of ideas and good practice between teachers across our global community. Cambridge offers three types of online course:

Self-study
Introductory courses for teachers who are new to the Cambridge syllabus. These courses are not supported by a tutor and are available throughout the year.

Tutor-led
Intermediate and advanced courses supported by an e-tutor. Each course runs for seven weeks, including one weeks introduction.

Ask the Examiner

This question and answer session takes place over two weeks after each exam series, giving Cambridge teachers the opportunity to discuss exam-related issues with an examiner.

Bespoke training
We also offer bespoke training to meet your schools specific needs. This is usually subject specific but can be more generic in nature, covering areas such as assessment for learning or student centred learning.
