Trinity teaching diplomas cover instrumental and vocal teaching to individuals, small groups and in the classroom.
Available at ATCL and LTCL levels, they cover both theory and practice, including teaching observation. The diplomas
aren’t tied to any particular course: you choose how you want to study for your diploma – on your own, with your
teacher or through a programme of study.
