      Teacher Training with the British Council

      Over the last two years we have had many requests from you to make our online courses available on TeachingEnglish, and we are pleased to announce that you will soon be able to register for 'global' courses here. Our global courses give you the chance to learn and share with teachers from all over the world!

      All the courses have been written by our experienced team of writers and trainers. They fall into three categories:

      • Self-access workshops: short online workshops for you to study on your own
      • Self-access courses: courses you can start at any time, studying when you want
      • Moderated courses: led by a British Council moderator, these courses have fixed start dates

      You can check out the different courses in each category on this page! We will have information here about the starting dates for our next global teacher training courses soon.

      Meanwhile, if you are interested in finding out if we run courses just for teachers in your country, please contact us or find out more via our British Council country websites.
