About the teacher training centre
IH Almaty is a large school, with centres in various neighbourhoods around the city.
Our school was approved by Cambridge Assessment English (former ESOL) to deliver CELTA in 2007, and later, in 2019, all DELTA Modules: M1, M2 and M3 were added to our range of international professional development courses.
In 2009 we received accreditation for running the IHCYLT-International House Certificate in Teaching Young Learners and Teens, and, since that time, we have been successfully training both novice and experienced teachers in delivering YL classes communicatively.
Our teachers teach general english courses for adults and younger learners, exam-classes, and business English courses for companies and executives.
How ever you would like to develop your teaching skills, there will be an opportunity at IH Almaty! Staff have the opportunity to move between different areas of the company, and academic and support staff have room for development and promotion. Teachers & trainers are encouraged to give seminars, write articles, conduct action research,etc, as part of their own CPD.
Come to Almaty to find ten differences between mountains and hills and do your CELTA or DELTA with an excellent international team of trainers!
