Led By:
The Chemistry IA Seminar will be led by Davel Allen. Dave has worked with the IB for over 20 years, first as an IA moderator, and then as an examiner. He counts himself fortunate that he trained as a workshop leader and has run over 30 face-to-face workshops. He has also written three iterations of the online workshops to reflect the syllabus changes in 2008, 2014, and the new course (first exams 2025). Two of these workshops were specific IA workshops. He has also written the current Cat 3 IA face-to-face workshop as well as a student book writing successful IA's. He has worked for IBSCA running face-to-face and online workshops since 2012 and is very much looking forward to delivering this upcoming seminar.
