IN SERVICE TRAINING (IST)

BWY requires teachers to attend one IST event each year.
This enables their practice to be kept up to date and provides useful opportunities to meet others and give support to those who have recently qualified.
Those teachers who have not yet fulfilled the IST requirements should look at the schedule and get their bookings in promptly.
We charge far less than many areas and all our tutors are very experienced and well respected.

Note New rules from January 2009 for CPD (Continuous Professional Development) please see article in Spectrum or under News on this web site)

Logging of CPD Hours
BWY teachers are now required to register their CPD training hours directly onto the main BWY web site. This decision
was taken by NISTO as the majority of people have access to their own, or a friend’s or relative’s computer.
1. Visit the national BWY website at http://www.bwy.org.uk
2. Using the 'Members Login' at the top left of the page, enter your BWY membership number and a password. (Initially, this
password will be your postcode).
3. After logging in, you will be asked to change your password.
4. Click the link 'Your CPD' from the list displayed under the Members Area.
5. Click 'Add a new event' to access the input form for your CPD details.
6. Log out when you have finished.
Eventually, teachers will be able to book all IST days online. They will be able to access these from the BWY website.
