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.
Managing Customer Service
On this course you will learn about the different aspects of customer service in a language teaching organisation and examine customer expectations. You will explore how to improve the customer journey in your organisation or department and how to rectify quality issues.
Over six weeks we will:
- examine customer expectations, including ways you can discover and manage these;
- explore all aspects of the customer journey, and consider how this can be improved in your organisation;
- evaluate how you can incorporate quality standards in all aspects of your organisation;
- look at what can lead to failure in quality standards, and how you can rectify this.
The course is assessed through a portfolio.
