Training
Hi maneesha.
Thanks for your comment. All of our training courses are aimed at language teachers who want to improve their teaching skills. They are free, and self-access, which means you can complete them in your own time.
If you are someone who has never taught and want to train, then you might find this article about formal qualifications useful.
Hope that helps - let us know if you need more guidance.
