Who is this course designed for

The International House Teacher Trainer Certificate is for experienced teachers who want to move into the field of teacher training. The course provides some theoretical background and frameworks, but it is not intended to replace the existing observation and training-up process that is place for many courses.

The course is designed to enable trainers to work on a number of pre-service and in-service teacher training courses, but more reference will be made to the CELTA type of course.

Given the observation and feedback roles of many middle management teaching jobs, the course is also suitable for a teacher who is working in an in-house teacher development context.

Other reasons people have taken this course include:

• Advancing their careers and be able to make the maximum impact in the teaching profession;
• To be better mentors and deliver relevant and transformative personal development sessions;
• Wanting to hire quality teachers for a not-for-profit school for refugees and being able to equip them with the heart and skills to teach competently;
• Gaining knowledge on conducting training workshops and courses;
• Improving knowledge with a formal certificate to increase future employment opportunities.

Entry requirements

To do this course, you should be either:

• A DELTA-qualified teacher who is planning a move into teacher training.
• An experienced teacher without DELTA who wishes to run in-service courses in your own context.
• An Academic Manager who wishes to develop your in-house Teacher Development role.

You will need to have knowledge of a language teaching organisation (you don’t have to be teaching at the time of the course).

Please note that online applications close on the Monday before the course starts. But we sometimes have late availability, so please get in touch with the admissions team on [email protected] and we will see if there are any last minute spaces.

Course objectives

The aim of this course is to prepare course participants for the main issues and techniques involved in teacher training. These include observing an initial teacher training course or assisting on an in-service teacher development course. It will also help a more senior teacher develop in their in-house Teacher Development role.
