A grade of at least 70% is required in order to pass the course. More than 50% of this grade is made up of marks for teacher practices.
Trainees are awarded with either a ‘pass’, ‘merit’, ‘high merit’ or ‘distinction’ on their certificates. All graduates also receive a report, and those who obtain a merit or higher, are also presented with a personalised letter of reference.

    Koh Samui – Island of Coconuts

    Back in the 1970s the word ‘Samui’ was a known only to a few of the most adventurous backpackers eager to explore this little known and tricky to reach island. Then, a basic thatched bungalow with generator power and running water was considered luxury. Nowadays, 5-star resorts, that rival any world-class destination, occupy the prime beachfront and cliff-top locations bringing the jetsetter crowd to this now well-known and easily accessible island in the Gulf of Thailand.

    Samui is Thailand’s third largest island, yet measures just 21 kilometres at its widest point and 25 kilometres in maximum length. A ring-road runs around the island for approximately 50 kilometres and links the many beaches and bays, so hiring a car or scooter is recommended, as it’s the best way to explore. Don’t be afraid to venture down an unmarked palm-lined track – this is how you come across some of Samui’s best kept secret beaches.

    And it’s the beaches, after all, that draw a visitor to a tropical island. Each person has his own idea of what makes a good beach. To some, this may be a secluded stretch of sand with nothing more than a hammock strung between two palms to enjoy a good book while listening to the sea gently lapping on the shore. To others, it may involve ample deck chairs, a barman on hand to keep the mojitos flowing and adjust the shade umbrella, and rubbing shoulders with the hip crowd as they tap feet to the latest tunes playing in the background. Perhaps you’re after a family-friendly beach with plenty of water-sports and activities, or shallow water for the little ones to play in. Whichever is your ideal, Samui won’t disappoint with its offering of beaches – from long strips of powdery white sand that stretch on for kilometres, to small boulder-lined coves, ideal for snorkelling.
