TEACHER’S DIPLOMA EXAMINATIONS
References v4_05_07
The recommendations made here are intended to be a general guide, and irrespective of the resource material used, students must satisfy the Examiners that they are competent in the area prescribed by the syllabus for the subject.
Candidates might find it advantageous to avail themselves of library resources in order to determine the combination of materials on which they will base their studies. Some books in this list, marked with an asterisk, are out of print. They are in the list because copies may still be available from some libraries.
Because of continuous changes in reference material, this list is published separately from the syllabuses, but should be read in conjunction with them.
