→ You learn in a structured environment, not just via theory.

You spend time observing experienced teachers (minimum 6 hours) or peer lessons to understand different techniques and styles.
→ You see how theory plays out in real lessons, and reflect on best practices.

You deliver six hours of assessed lessons (with real learners), under observation and feedback. 
→ You build hands-on experience, not just simulation.

The maximum ratio is usually one tutor per six trainees, ensuring personalised attention, regular tutorials, and detailed feedback.
→ You’re not lost in a big crowd; trainers can support your development.

Rather than a final exam, your progress is judged through ongoing performance: 4 written assignments plus evaluation of your teaching.
→ This encourages consistent improvement over time.
