There are approximately 30 hours of face-to-face contact time and 10 hours of preparation and follow-up activities.

The course provides:

  • generic teacher training skills
  • familiarisation with a specific training course, enabling participants to become trainers on the CELT-P and CELT-S courses.

There are six Train the Trainer modules. All six modules have a practical focus.

Train the Trainer case study

The Turkish Education Association (TED) wanted to strengthen its local trainer resources and used Cambridge English’s Train the Trainer course to do so. It helped experienced teachers and teacher trainers improve their skills such as how to observe and give feedback to teachers.
