The Education Working Group (EWG) is an essential part of quality education in the UK and internationally.
Our curriculum is used worldwide and our certified teachers register is joined by teachers globally who want to give out our certificates in their country.
The working group play a crucial role in the quality of our education provisions, they support the certified teacher register application process and constantly update our curriculum, adding new curriculum and challenging assumptions held in education. It is a voluntary group of educators dedicated to improving education.
The following are the latest developments from the Education Working Group. If you have any feedback or questions, please in contact with our Education Lead.
