International Dimension
The Diploma has been developed specifically for training
environments and is based on recognized good practice.  
The syllabus and assignments provide a framework
through which candidates in any country can be reliably
assessed.  

Method of assessments
Assessment is by examinations and assignment, one for
each key stage of the teaching cycle, i.e. one for each
module.

These assignments and examinations are practical, based
on day-to-day professional work.

Students will also be observed as a part of the practicum.  
This is conducted by an experienced senior teacher who
will confirm that performance observed meets the
requirements of the syllabus.  Evidence will also include
feedback from the learners.

In preparation for the diploma candidates will be required
to carry out the activities required in the assignments by
application to real world settings, e.g. the practice
learning program.
