Come celebrate with us!
NILE's outstanding face-to-face, two-week professional development programmes in the vibrant and historic city of Norwich are back for summer 2025, and this year we have discounted every single course by 30% to celebrate NILE’s 30th birthday! And if that wasn’t enough, we made our accommodation provision 30% cheaper too.
This July and August, we offer Creativity with Young Learners, Environmental Sustainability in Language Teaching, Trainer Development, CLIL, Video, Language Improvement for Teachers and many more.
A number of the discounted courses are available with the optional Trinity CertPT award, and some also form part of modules for our Masters programme in Professional Development in Language Education - the largest ELT MA in the UK.
We have a selection of accommodation options, an exciting social and cultural programme, and with connections to London, Cambridge and the Norfolk Broads there is plenty to enjoy during your stay.
