train the trainer program
english has become the universal language for communication in various fields, such as education, business, and technology. consequently, the demand for the mastery of this language for various purposes, namely for everyday communication, communication for technical purposes, for research publication purposes and/or networking in academic contexts, has significantly increased. however, teaching english to non-native speakers or using it in the previous contexts can be challenging as it requires specialized knowledge and abilities to facilitate an environment that allows learners to successfully develop their language skills and/or effectively communicate in different settings.
to this end, there are 3 different train the trainer courses which learners can choose from: teach english as a foreign language (tefl), content and language integrated learning (clil), and intensive english program for professionals (iepp). the tefl and clil streams are offered both in person at one of our campuses and online. online participants can complete them on a self-paced basis. blended or hybrid options are also available upon request. the iepp is also offered online and in-person. however, the online program is delivered synchronically.
please note that course participants will need to have a minimum b2 (or ielts 5.5) level of english language proficiency in order to take full advantage of the programs.
