Spring Teacher Training

an Exams Catalunya Event

Shake off those winter blues with an inspiring morning of professional development! Join us for the Exams Catalunya Winter Teacher Training event on Saturday, 7 February.

We’re thrilled to welcome back Tim Warre, a popular presenter who will explore how AI can be harnessed to support language learning. We’re also delighted to introduce Suzy Ratcliff, who will focus on assessing and developing writing skills, with particular attention to the crucial leap from B2 to C1 level.

As always, our colleagues from Cambridge University Press & Assessment will be on hand, and the Exams Catalunya team will be happy to answer any questions about your students’ exams.

Between sessions, enjoy coffee and breakfast—the perfect opportunity to connect with fellow teachers and share ideas. Our Teacher Training events are fast becoming a must-attend fixture in teachers’ calendars, so sign up now and don’t miss out!

We look forward to seeing you in February!
