Today’s educators are facing unprecedented challenges as well as incredible opportunities. Our courses are designed to keep teachers up-to-date, creative, and motivated.

The aim of our online courses is to improve the quality and effectiveness of education, enhancing creativity and innovation, while preserving teachers’ and students’ wellbeing.

Our courses provide an excellent opportunity for professional development and training in a wide range of subjects, such as strategies for classroom management, ICT for curriculum development, and self-care for teachers.

Our courses in leadership and project management provide school principals and staff with the necessary tools for navigating an ever-changing education environment. We also offer courses concerning mental health and self-care among school staff.

Tailor-made training courses

When creating tailor-made courses, we draw on a wealth of experience in training a wide range of topics, including but not limited to: Project-Based Learning, facilitating remote teaching and blended learning, conflict management, leadership development, CLIL. We are facilitating over 140 different face-to-face courses and can adapt topics of particular interest to an online context.

Approaches and methods covered in these courses have been shown to greatly improve students’ performance and motivation. However, not every approach will have a strong positive impact in every classroom or school. Schools are complex organizations, each with its unique culture, ethos, resources, and teacher and student population. In order for a new approach or method to achieve results, it should be carefully integrated into the school’s existing infrastructure.

Given each school’s complex profile, addressing one issue often requires amending other institutional elements. For example, if a school plans to move to blended or hybrid learning, it may not be sufficient to train teachers simply in the use of educational programs and Apps. It may also be necessary to address, for example, how to motivate students for distance learning, or how to prevent cyberbullying.

We offer you training needs analysis to create customized training courses and interventions tailored to the needs of your school and/or educational institute. Our consultation service includes:

1) Training Needs Analysis

In the initial phase, we ask the school’s principal and/or board of directors to fill out a questionnaire to define the desired changes, the scope, and the timeline of the customized training project. We then meet with the school’s principal and board of directors and – as necessary – with additional stakeholders of the school, including teachers, students, and parents. We assess the needs and requirements of the school and analyze its existing framework.

2) Creation of customised training courses

Based on our assessment, we select appropriate interventions, courses and course modules from our large repertoire. We will then present our recommendations to you, explaining our rationale behind each selection. You are then free to agree or to ask for modifications.

3) Running of training courses

Once everyone is in agreement as to the customized training program, we will schedule activities according to your preferred timetable. Whenever possible, courses will be held on-site. Otherwise, courses will be held online. All courses are facilitated by our expert teacher trainers, each with years of experience working in the education sector.

4) Evaluation

On your request, we can devise an evaluation concept to analyze the impact of the training on your school. Depending on the scale of the training, this would include before- and after-surveys, focus-group meetings, and follow-up events. A full report will be presented to your school or educational institute, respectively.

Prices, contacts and details

Contact us and we will arrange a free over-the-phone consultation. After our initial conversation, we will send you a quote for our services. When an agreement is reached, we will ask for a deposit before the training begins. The remaining sum will be due after your receipt of our final report.
