IB Asia Pacific In-school Workshops: PYP, MYP and DP
IB Asia Pacific in-school workshops provide schools with the opportunity to train their entire IB programme staff on their own school premises, and to focus upon select programme issues and strategies. These workshops are recognized for school authorization and evaluation purposes. While they are useful in addressing particular school needs, it is understood that they form only a part of the school’s broader IB professional development portfolio, including participation in regional workshop training, on-line workshop training, and conferences.
Please follow these 10 simple steps to ensure that your in-school workshop runs smoothly.
Step 1:
Go to the In-school workshop requirements site to ensure that you understand the procedures and your requirements in organizing an in-school workshop.
Step 2:
Go to the In-school workshop offerings site to review the range of in-school workshops available and select the one that suits your school needs.

- Middle Years Programme workshop descriptions
- Diploma Programme workshop descriptions
Step 3:
Go to the In-school workshop request site to submit your in-school workshop request.
Step 4:
Within 4 weeks, you will receive an e-mail confirming receipt of the in-school workshop request.
Step 5:
3 to 4 months prior to the event, you will receive an email with the workshop details. You may correspond with your assigned workshop leader(s). At this point in time, school coordinators are responsible for communicating with the workshop leader to confirm logistics: travel, accommodation, materials, printing of workbooks, visa request support (if necessary), etc. Please note, that cancellation of the workshop after this step will incur the standard cancellation fee.
Step 6:
1 month prior to the event you must ensure that you have filled in the participant registration list and sent it to your assigned workshop leader(s). Please ensure that the details are accurate as this document will be used to create the participants’ workshop certificates. The workshop leader(s) will ensure that the participants indicated on the spreadsheet are present in the workshop. If participant names need to be added or changed, the final details must be confirmed with the leader(s) at the start of the workshop. Please note: workshop leaders are required to enforce the maximum teacher / participant ratio of 1 to 25. Schools will not be permitted to exceed the participant limit.
Step 7:
Upon completion of the workshop, the workshop leader(s) will submit the updated spreadsheet to the IB Asia Pacific regional office at ibapevents@ibo.org.
Please note: Workshop leader(s) will record attendance at the workshop each day. Only participants who have been at the workshop each day will receive a certificate.
Step 8:
Upon completion of the workshop, participants will be sent an online evaluation form to fill in. Please note this will be sent after the workshop.
Step 9:
Upon receipt of the workshop leader’s confirmed participants’ list, the IB Asia Pacific regional office will issue you an invoice for the amount due.
Step 10:
“Certificates of attendance” will be issued to your school when:
- confirmation of expense reimbursement and honorarium paid to workshop leader
- Proof of payment has been received.
