Level 1 and Level 2 Workshops: Which one to choose

Level 1 workshops are designed for those who have decided to apply for IB authorization, and they provide assistance in this process.
Please note that Level 1 workshops are required for authorization.

Level 2 workshops are for those who have completed Level 1 workshops and whose schools have begun the IB programme.

Two groups of teachers "fall between the cracks" of these categories: those with extensive IB teaching experience who find themselves in applicant schools, and those inexperienced in IB teaching who find themselves in schools with longstanding IB affiliation. We hope that those teachers will refer to the goals and objectives of the workshops to choose judiciously.

For further information, please view this document created by the IB.
