The assessment will not be pass or fail but rather Completion or Non-Completion.

All teachers who have successfully completed the programme will receive an UNRWA endorsed Certificate.

Schools where more than 80% of teachers have successfully completed the SBTD TCP will be issued a School Award which can be displayed for parents and the wider community.
