🌟 Celebrating Student Success 🌟

Congratulations to Shona on her wonderful achievement in gaining her ARSM Diploma after completing both the CertPTC and our Fast Track ARSM Teaching Diploma course 🎉👏

Shona began the Cert PTC just four months into her teaching career. We're delighted to have supported her journey and are so proud of what she has achieved.

Here's what Shona had to say:
"As I had only been teaching for four months when I began the Cert PTC course, it was the ideal opportunity to build a solid foundation of teaching skills and principles early in my career.

The Cert PTC gave me practical ideas for teaching technique and musicianship in ways that keep lessons engaging and enjoyable for pupils. It also helped me develop my own musicianship, performance, and practice skills, which have carried over into my teaching approach and benefited my pupils.

After completing the Cert PTC, preparing for the ARSM diploma felt like a natural next step. The PTC Fast Track course provided much-needed support and structure to work through the diploma requirements. I was quite nervous about the professional discussion element, so having the opportunity to take part in a mock discussion with an ARSM examiner gave me valuable insight into what to expect and helped reduce my anxiety. The course tutors were knowledgeable and supportive throughout, and by the end of the course I was able to approach my ARSM diploma with confidence, knowing what was expected and feeling well prepared."

Well done, Shona! ❤️

Huge congratulations to Martha on achieving a fantastic result in her ARSM Diploma after completing our Fast-Track ARSM course 🎉👏

Martha first completed the Cert PTC before progressing straight on to our Fast-Track ARSM course. These two courses work so well together to support ongoing professional and musical development. Martha sent this message:

“In my time as a music teacher I have attended many professional development courses, and the Cert PTC was by far the best I have experienced. The standard of teaching was consistently high, and has had a huge impact on my career. The transition to the ARSM diploma was smooth and relatively easy, and I would highly recommend both courses to anyone.”

We’re so proud of you, Martha and thanks for your kind words ❤️
