About the teacher training centre

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. You don't usually have to attend a live chat or webinar at a specific time, although sometimes there are live "meetups" so you have the chance to chat with your tutor and other 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. 

The IH Certificate in Online Tutoring

If you’re a teacher looking to deliver lessons online, or an experienced teacher interested in working as an online tutor or trainer, this course is for you. It will teach you the techniques and approaches to you need to tutor online language courses or teacher training courses in Virtual Learning Environments.

There are four modules:

  • Module One: Setting the Right Climate
  • Module Two: Basic Tutoring Skills
  • Module Three: Synchronicity
  • Module Four: And In Summary

There are five weeks of tutor led input on this course. After this you will have one week to complete and submit your portfolio of work ready for assessment.
