Teacher training programs

We offer world-class professional development and training services to overseas schools, educational institutions and government authorities.

Our programs use our own expertise, experience and leadership to support and enhance your teacher professional development. Australia and Victoria offer innovation in education that’s earned us respect in the Asia-Pacific region and across the world.

Tailored training for specific groups

Our structured training programs can be custom fit to your group. They suit:

  • education administrators and managers
  • policy makers and education planning professionals
  • general and specialist curriculum teachers

Expert advice from our partners

We work with leading Victorian universities and other specialist training providers to customise the program for your teachers. Professional development programs can include:

  • specialised accredited TESOL and “English Skills for Teaching” short courses
  • immersion at host schools
  • practical co-teaching opportunities

Accommodation options that promote professional exchange

Take the opportunity to stay on the school campus or with a host family through home stay. You’ll spend more time with native speakers and can swap ideas with other teachers.

Extensive experience in on-shore and off-shore programs

Since 2001, more than 500 Korean teachers have benefited from a series of exemplary programs we’ve conducted with the Republic of Korea’s Ministry of Education and their Metropolitan and Provincial Government Education Offices. Participants included both public and private elementary teachers and specialist secondary teachers of English language and science.

Melbourne-based programs have been conducted with teacher groups from countries including China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan and Thailand.
