Teacher Training:
The dynamic and fast developing world of educational science as well as International curriculums and ABC’s high standards often mean that members of staff may require additional training or to update their practice. We have teamed up with two partners to offer high standards of professional training and qualifications.

The course provides a solid foundation for staff to deliver effectively the international curriculum to meet international standards for teachers. It is delivered across the year whilst teachers work in the classroom.
