SPECIALIST / TAILOR-MADE TRAINING

We are often asked if we could visit your school or deliver tailor-made virtual training for your school instead of, or as well as, your teachers attending our workshop events.

The answer is, YES! We can and do.

This is often more cost-effective for a school than sending individuals to workshops.

This training is individually developed with your school’s needs in mind. Do note, however, that as these are not IB-monitored workshops, they carry no certification and the IBO takes no regard of this training for authorisation or evaluation purposes.

Our experienced leaders can also advise and deliver tailored consultancy services for senior personnel, coordinators, and administrators.

Our services to schools include:

  • In-person or virtual visits to your school (half a day, one day, or longer)
  • discussion of issues concerning implementation of the IB programme with senior managers, presentations to teaching staff
  • INSET training in specialist subjects
  • consideration of IB DP Extended Essays, helping your students write the best possible extended essays, in choosing research questions, and in understanding and using assessment criteria
  • presentations for teaching staff or students (or both) on Theory of Knowledge, including work with students on different aspects of Theory of Knowledge, or helping teachers make links to Theory of Knowledge within their subjects
  • consideration of CAS activities to give new impetus to your CAS programme and experiential learning.

We put you in contact with the right person for the task and together tailor the training to suit your particular needs. A follow-up report can also be arranged.

Our team of visitors and trainers have many years of IB teaching, workshop leading and assessment experience.

The fee depends on your requirements. Please contact us on admin@ibicus.org.uk to talk about this in more detail.

SOME OF THE GREAT FEEDBACK THAT WE RECEIVE

 I would like to thank you and your team for organizing such an awesome workshop. The workshop was intense, very informative, interactive and a worthwhile investment for my School

Willison, UAE, Feb 2021

I had never thought that an online workshop could be so interactive. I loved it!

Catalina, Netherlands, Feb 2021

I am glad that I attended this workshop because it came in at a time when my classes were adjusting to 100% online learning.  
This structure was better than the one-month online workshops by far

Grace, Uganda, Sept 2020

One of the most impactful workshops that I’ve had in a long time. A really engaged group and a great course leader. The format worked well. 
The feedback from our staff is very positive on these courses and they are really enjoying still being able to do the intensive 3 days. In fact, some are preferring it to having to travel as it has less impact on school and life.

Nicole, Switzerland, Sept 2020

I would be happy to participate in these live virtual workshops again (I dislike online as it lacks the interaction piece).  I have a lot of teachers... currently participating in these workshops; so far, the feedback is equally positive.
