IH CYLT is a comprehensive, internationally accredited course accredited by the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports within the framework of further education of teaching staff (DVPP).
It focuses on teaching methodology for children from 3 to 16 years of age. The course will provide teachers with modern methodical teaching methods in English.
All seminars contain both theory and practical support.
The aim of the course is to improve the quality of English teaching, especially in elementary schools.

These sessions are run over a period of 10 consecutive days (full-time, intensive format) or over a period of 12 weeks (part-time, extensive format).
