There are 20+ hrs of video/audio – each with tests/quizzes – so the minimum time to complete the course would be around 22 – 24 hrs. This doesn’t take into account recommended further reading/downloads etc.

Accounts remain active for as long as it takes you to complete the course – and for at least 12 months thereafter – and may only be deleted if they have been dormant for 12 months.

Great resource for new P1 teachers.

Phonics Online Training

We have an additional 50 phonics online training licences. Please consider this in PRD discussion and when allocating new classes. This is a great resource for new teachers into P1. If you have any staff who would like a licence, please ask them to email CLPL@scotborders.gov.uk and instructions will be sent on how to register.

This course is divided into 14 ‘modules’. Each module is sub-divided into lessons, or ‘parts’. Each ‘part’ contains a video tutorial, printable notes/video slides, links to downloads, additional video, resources, research papers and further recommended reading. Each ‘lesson’ in Modules One to Twelve should be completed systematically and the ‘quiz’/progress check completed before the student proceeds to the next lesson/part.

At any point during the course, the student may click on the ‘Contact Lesson Teacher’ or ‘Contact Course Teacher’ button for email support.
