Asset Languages Training

If you are interested in using Asset Languages in your school or college, 'Get Started' training sessions are designed as a helpful introduction to the scheme. These single training days outline the philosophy behind the assessment scheme and the different methods of assessment with Asset; external and teacher assessment. Delegates will receive guidance on preparing candidates for Asset's externally-assessed exams and information on what support and resources are available from OCR. The training also explains all administration procedures.
