About IH Courses

Do you want an online professional development course, no matter where you are in the world?

The IH Online Teacher Training Institute (OTTI) is the teacher training wing of International House World Organisation. We provide online professional development courses for EFL teachers around the world. We have courses for every stage of a teacher’s career, from soon after your initial qualification to DELTA level and management courses.

Learning online gives you the flexibility to set your own study hours and save money on travel and accommodation.

On our courses you can ‘attend’ whenever (and wherever!) is convenient for you. Our courses have people enrolled on them from all over the world so there are no compulsory synchronous sessions. In some courses there are optional live meetups where you can connect with your tutor and classmates.

To help you there is ongoing support from your tutors in online forums and through individual feedback – and you’ll probably find your other course participants are really helpful as well. You are definitely not studying alone, and this tutor and peer support is what our trainees say they like most about our courses.

Carmel Hickey

I have been teaching English as a Foreign Language since 1997 and trained as a CELTA tutor in 2006. Before this, I trained as a secondary school teacher and taught a wide variety of different subjects in the year after I qualified.

To successfully complete the course, plan your time carefully and make sure you allow enough time to plan your lessons, and really focus on feedback from your tutors and your peers as this will help you improve from lesson to lesson.

Alison Elliott

I started out studying Anthropology and then trained as a secondary school teacher. Since then, I have been an EFL teacher for 23 years, 19 of which have involved teacher training.

When I was teaching more, I enjoyed the armchair travel that working in a multinational class offered. I sometimes wonder if I have learned more from working with international students than I have from travelling myself. I have a lot of respect for people willing to commit to coming to another country to learn English. Learning a language is hard and takes a lot of energy. I think learners deserve good teaching and I strive to convey that to the trainees I work with.
