Our online Leadership in ELT course is suitable for school managers or leaders in different ELT contexts. It will not only improve your confidence to lead others but will also help you work on self-leadership to improve your time management and personal development. Working with core skills, this course applies those skills in contexts related to your work and is particularly useful if you have recently taken up a management role such as Senior Teacher or Director of Studies.
The Leadership in ELT course covers a range of topics which will help you gain a deeper understanding of leadership and how to apply core skills to become a more effective manager. Topics covered include:
As a graduate of the Leadership in ELT course, you will understand and use key leadership tools to solve challenges in your job and to further your career. You will also develop your understanding of what leadership is and your own style. Through role play and simulation activities you will develop your communication skills and develop a clear understanding of your strengths and weaknesses. You will address typical challenges you have in your work by learning to use tools to help you lead effectively.

Our teacher development courses are provided on a one-to-one basis with individualised attention from an expert tutor who will guide you through the three modules covering a range of topics. All of these courses are 100% online so you can take these courses from anywhere in the world.
You will need a laptop or computer, a webcam and speakers/ headset and a good internet connection. You do not need to purchase any account to connect with us but you will need to ensure that you have downloaded Skype / Zoom onto your device.
Our 30-hour teacher development courses are taken over either 3 or 6 weeks (you choose). If you choose to take the course over 3 weeks, you will need to dedicate around 10 hours per week to the course. If you take the course over 6 weeks, you will need to dedicate around 5 hours per week to the course.
You can start our teacher development courses on any Friday of the year. Your start date is when your tutor will get in contact to introduce themselves and connect you to the online learning platform. This doesn’t mean you need to be available on Fridays specifically.
The course is designed to be very flexible. The only thing you will need to schedule will be your three online tutorials with your tutor (one at the end of each module, around 25-30 minutes each). You will arrange a convenient time for this directly with your tutor.
The rest of the work (watching videos, reading articles, reflecting on your own teaching and completing assignments) can be done on a day and time which suits you. We will help you set some deadlines and you would simply need to make sure that you work through the content and complete your assignments on time.
This makes our teacher development courses ideal for busy teachers anywhere in the world.
During your teacher development course you will read articles, watch videos, reflect on your own teaching and complete tasks. You will then discuss the content with your tutor in our online learning platform and during your one-to-one live tutorials. For each module there is an assignment for which you will receive written and verbal feedback specific to your context and development.
In order to complete your teacher development course successfully, you will need to participate fully, meet deadlines and submit tasks to a satisfactory standard. Your tutor will measure your progress and provide feedback on your tasks. At the end of the course we will provide you with an Oxford TEFL digital certificate which states that you have completed and passed the course.
Taking a teacher development course will not only help you develop and fine tune your skills, it will also prove to potential employers that you are serious about your profession and willing to invest in your future.
When deciding which course to take, you should consider the area(s) you would like to develop, your goals for the future and demand in your area or in the industry.
It is not unusual to take more than one teacher development course if you are keen to advance your career and enhance your CV. This will also widen the employment opportunities within the ELT industry.
