Hi Philippa

I must agree with Rachel on this and perhaps the way forward is to show what is out there that is for free! Here are a few of my favourites – Universities are very good at offering their materials as open educational resources

Hi Philippa;

We don’t have anything on the EPQ here, but in my previous job I think most of the teacher support materials came from AQA themselves. The relevant resources may be found here:
http://www.aqa.org.uk/subjects/projects/aqa-certificate/EPQ-7993/teaching-and-learning-resources

Best of luck!

Rachel.

Subject: Project Teacher Resource recommendations?

Dear All,

At a tutor's request we're looking at buying either of two resources, a website or a hardback book (but once was a website). Since they cost over £120 each we are wary of buying one and finding out it is unsuitable. The publishers have said that we can't have a trial access and their sample pages are not enough to make a decision on.

Has anyone already purchased either of these resources and would recommend them?
