Important information
We are no longer accepting new courses and entries for Language for Teaching. However, we will continue to provide support for the course until 31 December 2022*.
If you are looking to take an alternative course, we have over 70 online teacher development courses, which can be taken as self-study.
*Support for China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan will be available until 28 February 2023.
The process below describes the main steps when setting up a Language for Teaching course for the first time. After that, new courses can usually start at step 2.
Includes the initial enquiry, information gathering, signing an agreement with Cambridge English and selecting a Local Course Administrator. This step can take up to two months.
In this phase, you select trainers to deliver face-to-face training (if required), recruit course participants, and assess their level of English to place them in the right course. This can take up to one month.
This phase covers the whole course, from the initiation of the course through to the end of training. Courses usually take between six and nine months.
On completion of a course level, participants may take a progress test before moving on to the next course, or take a qualification to demonstrate their achievement.
