School Development Courses

You can help your staff develop their teaching and related skills in areas which will specifically benefit your organisation. We negotiate the specific aims of each course or programme with you to ensure it is relevant, practical and cost effective. Our leadership courses are also suitable for admin staff. The best solutions for your school’s needs could be any of these or a combination:

A tailor-made Teacher Development course for your staff (online, blended, face to face in your school)
One of our Teacher Development courses run as a closed group course for your staff (online, blended, face to face in your school)
Individual members of staff or a group from your school attending one of our open teacher development courses face to face or online

Testimonials

As a teacher one has a choice between stagnation after initial training, or continually revitalizing the initial certificate to enable ones own EFL knowledge to flourish. Oxford TEFL online CPD courses are tailored around the individual. Highly supportive tutors and methodical course structure demand enough to push one forward, but not so much one is lost under cascading and lost information. I have completed several courses and can confidently claim they have helped my class planning, performance and professionalism. You get what you pay for in life and here it’s worth every coin!

Our school, English for Business, has done most of our teacher training activities with Oxford TEFL. They designed several workshops and short courses to meet our needs and have been proactive in suggesting ideas too. It’s not easy to remember all the subjects they’ve researched and delivered for us but they include “Teaching One to One”, “Dealing with Mixed Levels in a Group”, “Using Technology in Class”, “Time Management for Teachers”, “Lesson Planning”, “The Flipped Classroom” and many others. Our teachers have been very pleased with the results and we have found that our investment in Oxford TEFL courses has had a high return. We’ve worked with Oxford TEFL for over twenty years and plan to keep on doing so in the future.
