PRIMARY ENGLISH TEACHER TRAINING COURSES
NATIONWIDE CIVIL SERVANT COMPETITIVE EXAMINATIONS
WORKING SYSTEM
A clearly structured and organised training is the key for your success. Candidates are given a whole year lessons calendar at the beginning of the season, with clear indications of everything to be developed in the different sessions and the contents covered in each of them. The different areas to be covered during the training are:
A section of the lesson will be devoted to the explanation of the different topics, which is achieved with the assistance of audiovisual materials. Topics have been elaborated by experienced teachers with more than twenty five years of teacher-training experience and a huge number of students who have already become civil servants/state teachers. Topics have beed developed under strict scientific, pedagogical and legislative regulations, and they are, of course, regularly updated. A deep understanding and study of the topics is of paramount importance as section A of the process, i.e. topic plus practical case, is eliminatory.

Due to the pecualiarities of our speciality, which is to be developed completely in a foreign language, candidates must have a perfect written expression and style. Consequently, EPO students will regularly take written exams of topics previously covered in class.

The defence of the Programming and the oral exposition of the Didactic Unit requires candidates to master a number of oral expression techniques and also an intensive training programme simultaneously. Nothing can be improvised. Consequently, great amount of time during the whole year will be devoted to this essential aspect of the process.
