Tim Woffenden (the IB expert) offers high quality consultancy for schools, parents and organisations who want to find out more about the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, and is a polished conference presenter.
The International Baccalaureate Diploma for 16-18 year-olds is a pre-eminent pre-university course which is being adopted by rapidly increasing numbers of schools all over the world.Since their inception IB programmes have grown at 17-19% per annum. In February 2008 there were 594,000 IB students at 2,210 schools in 125 countries.
In the UK, there has, until recently, been steady growth in the popularity of the International Baccalaureate Diploma; now that growth has become spectacular. 71 maintained schools and 46 independent schools offered the Diploma in February 2008.
Increasingly, the Diploma course, which requires students to follow a balanced and rigourous academic and extra-curricular programme, confers an advantage over A level candidates for university entrance.
Schools launching the International Baccalaureate Diploma have found Tim's consultancy to be indispensible:
'Thank you for delivering sessions that really matched our requirements - you certainly stimulated a keen interest in the IB whilst also managing to deal with key bread and butter issues. Your experience enables you to cover any queries and it was excellent that you were able to respond to questions in an empathetic way based on real experience (and laced with humour as well!!).'
(Anna Douglas, Deputy Director, City and Islington Sixth Form College)
'I am delighted to say that we have all the supporting documents ready to go in to the IBO. The Governors have unanimously supported the application. Your visit and the materials you gave us were invaluable and made the process much clearer and less daunting than would otherwise have been the case. We are truly grateful.'
(Tony Pinchin, Cobham Hall School, Kent)
