  3. Learn a practical case for the Teacher role and a practical case for the Teacher role to the level of completing an independent practical task—not merely finishing a course.
  4. Design a learning module with an objective, lesson, materials, assessment and an example of personal feedback.
  5. Review 20–30 vacancies and choose only courses or certificates that repeatedly appear in employer requirements.
