2025 IBEC Conference
According to the IBO, students in IBEC programs should complete an education practicum in international schools for at least 2 months after finishing the required courses and obtaining their program certificate.
The IB education practicum lasts for at least 2 months. Students with a teacher certificate can do their practicum in international schools in Taiwan or abroad while students in the Teacher Program (who have not obtained a teacher certificate yet) may only go to international schools in Taiwan.
The actual duration of the practicum is negotiable but accommodations will be made based on the needs of the practicum schools.
The practicum plan with each international school will be updated every year, and the actual execution of the practicum will be based on the plan of the school year and information provided by each practicum school.
The instructions above should be viewed as only a reference. Please check the General Regulations of Education Practicum for the respective school year of practicum.
In principle, the selection of IB education practicum for the next school year will be held at the end of the first semester annually (between January and February)
For example, the selection for the practicum in the school year of Sep. 2020 to Jun. 2021 will be held at the end of the first semester of the last school year (Jan to Feb, 2020)
1. Application document submission: In the middle of January every year.
2. Interview and selection: Between the beginning and the middle of February every year.
1. Students who want to do their practicum in the next school year (including the first and the second semester)
2. The education practicum should last for at least 2 months.
3. Students should meet the requirement of English proficiency.
Please include the related certificate within the application document, otherwise the application will be declined.
4.Students should obtain their Program Certificate first to apply.
Those who have an eligible English proficiency certificate and are to complete the program before the practicum begins may also register first, but they should apply for the program certificate once the semester ends and submit it to the office; otherwise, their practicum plan will be suspended.
5. Students who do their education practicum overseas should have a Teacher Certificate. Those who do not have the certificate at the stage of registration should still obtain it before the practicum begins; otherwise, their practicum plan will be suspended.
1. The selection will be held only once a year.
For instance, if you didn't register for the selection in the school year of Sep, 2020 to Jun, 2021 then you would not be able to do your education practicum for the whole next school year. Therefore, students are recommended to plan in advance.
2. As we are still striving to cooperate with more international schools to give our students more education practicum opportunities, the number of the practicum schools is likely to increase every year.
3. Each student has two chances at most to attend a practicum selection. Situations like absence from the interview, giving up after admission, or not finishing the practicum for some reason will all be counted as one.
