Launching the Diploma Programme requires careful preparation. Schools and colleges will need expert, independent, practical consultancy. Businesses and universities, who are faced by increasing numbers of International Baccalaureate Diploma graduates, would benefit from increasing their knowledge. Tim can offer a range of consultancy services:

• Helping schools and colleges decide whether to offer the International Baccalaureate Diploma
• Advice on how to prepare for the International Baccalaureate authorisation visit
• Advice to History departments on the delivery of the Diploma History course
• Presentations to pupils, staff, governors and/or parents
• Conference presentations
• Evaluation of existing Diploma programmes
• Advice to employers and universities on the qualities promoted by the Diploma

"I have just heard a few minutes ago that we have been authorised to offer the Diploma Programme at Gresham's. I cannot thank you enough for all your help. The enthusiasm shown by the staff to the authorisation team was almost entirely generated by you, and was commented on very favourably. So, we are in your debt."

(Sue Smart, IB Coordinator, Gresham's School, Norfolk)
