Continual professional development is an integral part of the any teacher's career. When qualified, it is essential to update and develop the skills and knowledge you have. With this in mind, our team of experienced teachers has developed workshops for ELT professionals.
Once qualified, it can often be difficult to gain employment in the highly competitive EFL sector. Newly qualified teachers are often competing with much more experienced practitioners. The workshop is intended for recently qualified CELTA teachers who wish more classroom experience before embarking on a career in TEFL. This highly practical workshop offers participants more teaching time and invaluable tips on how to make the transition from trainee to teacher. This workshop makes an excellent addition to your CV, showing dedication and extended teaching practice.

Given the recent changes to the Visa system in the UK, the demand for English exams, such as the IELTS and Cambridge suite, is higher than ever. Overseas students also require proof of their English level for entry to UK universities and colleges. As a result, teaching exam preparation classes is on the increase.
Exam English instruction can often be a daunting prospect for newly qualified teachers or those with little experience outside General English. The Teaching Exam Preparation course is geared towards qualified EFL instructors who are looking to consolidate techniques from a CELTA level course and enhance their knowledge of the range of examinations learners need.
The course covers the IELTS and Cambridge exams and provides in-depth knowledge of the components of each of the tests.
