 All students are expected to keep a Journal recording a daily account of their learning activities and their development in the practice of TCM . This will also form part of your assessment.

 

ASSESSMENT

  The assessment of student progress will be based mainly on a continuous process throughout the course.  Our School approach is to make this process as transparent and stress-free as possible.   An assessment and feedback, multiple-choice question paper is part of each practical session at the School  It enables the students to be aware of their own progress and any areas of study that need particular attention.

Assessment and feedback of the practical content of the course is an ongoing process  with tests on the last weekend of the course.  Students are given a clear indication of the standards that they need to reach..

 All creative Schools and Colleges continually update their approach to training and development.  With this in mind any information given in this prospectus may be subject to change in accordance with the perceived needs of the School and prospective or actual students.
