These courses are intensive ten day courses of 15 hours or 22.5 hours per week. The course includes a refresher programme in oral and written English skills at an advanced level. It is also includes an update on current English Language Teaching pedagogy in the UK and a review of current materials and examinations. Our trainers are fully qualified and train native speakers on UCLES CELTA and Trinity College TESOL courses. Participants with full attendance receive a Regent Certificate.
