English UK / Trinity College London do not stipulate that participants on the Cert IBET should be evaluated during the course itself. Indeed, on a course of such short duration (50hrs) it would be difficult to form a very accurate opinion of the participants' teaching abilities. For the same reason, there is no teaching practice (TP) component to the course.
Participants who do not fulfil the above requirements may be permitted to complete the course but not take the certificate.
For more details and examples see: www.trinitycollege.co.uk or www.englishuk.com.
Submitting the course assignment is optional, but the English UK/ Trinity Cert IBET certificate can only be awarded in the case of a sucessful assessment of the assignment of the participant.
The certification fee is 14O Euros payable by transfer to Mark Powell Communications.
Time is allocated during the course and in addition to the 54 contact hours of training to small group tutorials between participants and Mark to discuss questions related to the assignment.
There are three grades for assignments: distinction, pass or referral. Trinity will send the written evaluation of each assignment to the course provider or I.L.I. who will inform each candidate of his/her final result. English UK will send the printed certificates to course provider who will send them on to the candidates.
One resubmission is allowed in case the candidate has been referred. A further 12 weeks will be allowed for the resubmission. The candidate pays a 55 euro resubmission fee to Mark Powell Communications. The highest grade the referred candidate can receive from Trinity for a resubmitted assignment is a pass.
