Training modules are dedicated entirely to learning teaching methods and tools. We offer training modules both in-person and online, and in both cases, it’s a highly immersive process that requires a lot of focus and provides opportunities for getting familiar and bonding with future colleagues from different cities and countries.
We are proud that we are able to keep our groups small and offer personal attention to each of our trainees. It is not uncommon that we have a student to teacher ratio of 3:1 or even lower. We even decide on whether to hold our modules online or in-person and the specific location of the modules after consulting our trainees. This also helps reduce the need for international travel.
