Group TESOL Training

Becoming an English language teacher opens up a world of opportunities, whether you’re looking to enter the profession or to develop your existing skills.

Navitas English and the Australian TESOL Training Centre (ATTC) have been transforming students into teachers since 1983. Navitas English will continue to work with ATTC and bring the same level of quality teacher-training courses to groups who want to develop and improve their skills in the classroom.

Navitas English offers teacher training programs for international teachers of English at a primary and high school and tertiary level. ATTC closed group training can be tailored for English language teachers (Primary, Secondary and Tertiary), English literature teachers and lecturers, and teacher trainers.

ATTC study group programs focus on English language development and teaching methodology and are tailored to your group’s needs. The program can incorporate modules from English for Teaching Children, English for Teaching Teenagers and the Certificate IV TESOL.
