Hi Ellen,
All of the participants selected for the December PYP IB Academy have already been notified I did send an email to those who applied and were not successful in getting a spot at this training, but sometimes emails simply do not get to the volunteer. If you did apply, your application will be kept in the software and considered for trainings scheduled in the next three years.
Best

Hi Lana,
When will applicants be notified if they were accepted into the December Academy?
Thanks!
Ellen
Hi Teresa,
Thanks for your comment. You have already applied to the online registration system and your application will definitely be considered for this training and any subsequent training for the next three years.
The criterion changes for volunteer selection for each training and depends upon IB Americas volunteer needs.
Looking forward to more comments from all volunteers.
Best regards,
Lana
Hi Lana,
I would like to apply once again to the academy. This will be my third time applying. Do I need to fill out the forms and send letters of reference again? Are you looking for a specific kind of candidate like last time?
