Teaching Classical Languages Every student is a unique client, and there is no standard course. We always begin by discussing learning methods and objectives. Our ambition is to ensure a learning experience tailored to the needs and expectations of each student. When a student is following a particular course at school, we will fit our teaching round that. This being said, we have a preference for teaching students to read Latin. We recommend that students should gain a thorough grounding in the grammar of Latin, and that they should read as much Latin as they can fit into their learning schedule. CSCP will continue to produce and distribute a wide range of digital and ancillary materials, many of which will continue to be completely free including:

It therefore aims to allow centres and learners as many opportunities as possible to design courses which most appropriately suit their needs and interests. As this is a non-tiered assessment, Eduqas is aware of the need to satisfy the interests of the whole ability range. With a 50 year history of development and revision, the Cambridge Latin Course (CLC) has established itself as the leading beginner's course for Latin. In addition, both Eduqas and OCR examination boards endorse the Cambridge Latin Course for GCSE teaching.
