NILE’s experienced trainers are specialists in their chosen fields of ELT and, using a combination of theory and practical application, they work hard to offer training sessions that meet your group's specific needs and priorities. They also support you in considering how to adapt the content to your own professional context and creating a strategy for putting your ideas into practice, getting the most out of your course for both you and your colleagues back home.
You’ll have access to excellent resources, including NILE's specialist ELT library and a digital platform with every course.
Many of our open-enrolment courses also offer you the opportunity to work towards the Trinity Certificate for Practising Teachers as an extension to your 2-week programme.
All NILE’s accredited courses involve a significant element of English language improvement and/or the development of language awareness.
Our Accommodation and Welfare team is always on hand, and throughout your time in Norwich you will have the chance to meet, talk to and share experiences with international colleagues. You will also be treated to a rich and varied Social and Cultural Programme, leaving you with life-long memories to go alongside the skills and practices you develop during your stay.
