Courses
To ensure a good level of training, we believe it is necessary to gain skills, and then build on these skills through a series of activities which recycle and extend the abilities of the participants.
We are therefore delighted to introduce our flagship course, the Certificate in Using Technology in EFL - a 10 week practical course that covers the full range of skills required in order to successfully manage and make the most of the technology available to you.
