Criteria for Assessment are the "TTA
Outcomes"
Completion of the ICAA
OnLine course consititutes achieving the outcomes
The OnLine work is monitored by ICAA staff
As an alternative approach the
ICAA Teachers Certificate Scheme can be used as a guideline
BUT
Evidence must still be uploaded to the ICAA Website
for evaluation
