Extension training

Teachers at a workshop

Extension Training is for teachers who have some experience of teaching Cambridge programmes and qualifications. The training in this area enables teachers to engage with our syllabuses and curriculum frameworks in greater depth and build confidence in their delivery. We recommend this training to teachers who have attended Introductory Training and/or have been teaching Cambridge programmes and qualifications for at least one year or one exam cycle. 

Teachers will: 

  • review syllabus and curriculum framework design and the assessment aims 
  • learn about any major updates to our syllabuses or curriculum frameworks 
  • extend their understanding of the assessment process through reviewing past question papers, marking exercises and Examiner feedback as well as developing practice questions for Cambridge O Level, Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge International AS & A Level and Cambridge Pre-U
  • explore progression tests, Cambridge Primary Checkpoint and Cambridge Lower Secondary Checkpoint
  • create schemes of work and curriculum resources 
  • share a range of approaches to teaching and learning.

This training is available face-to-face and online. All of our online training can be accessed on our Professional Development Learning Community website. 

Examples of training courses in this area include Cambridge IGCSE Global Perspectives (0457) Extension training and Cambridge International AS & A Level Mathematics (9709) Online Tutor-Led training.
