What participants are saying about the course
Dear Joss,
Thank you, Richard, Ian and Louise for an excellent course, which I thoroughly enjoyed, and which I know will continue to enrich – it already has – my teaching, training and coaching.
Kind regards, Russell
Hello Joss,
I would like to thank you for the course which was useful and informative and helpful for the future. It was good to finish this afternoon with Louise who rounded things off in a more personal way – we were able to exchange on the future of language training and what it might mean for us. Once again many thanks. Your team are doing a great job!

Hello All,
Now that the course has come to an end I just wanted to say a quick thanks for all the videos and coaching sessions. I’ve learned a lot about tools, people, tests…… and will learn even more when I have time to go back over the material you have passed on to us.
I hope to follow more training with you in the future as the situation around us evolves.
Have a lovely weekend,
Kind regards, Susan Potron
Dear Joss,
Thank you very much for the certificate. I really enjoyed the course and am now using Zoom for my lessons with no problems – I just need to get to grips with being more organised on my computer. Richard has definitely pointed me in the right direction for that.
I’d also be interested in new courses you may offer!
All the best for the future.
Regards,
Janet

This course is designed for teachers who are able to use a desktop, laptop or tablet computer for the basics (browsing the internet, calling using Skype or another video conferencing software, making and editing Word documents). You don’t need to be already familiar with any of the digital tools advertised in the course.
Some of the lessons assume you have a basic knowledge and experience of language teaching techniques. We recommend that you’ve already been teaching English or your chosen language for at least a year full time, or several years part time.
Not at all. Most of the modules apply as much to classroom teaching as they do to online teaching. We assume teachers will be conducting a mix of classroom lessons and video conference lessons.
The coaching sessions are recorded and uploaded, so if you miss one you can simply watch the replay at your convenience. The online lessons can be accessed and re-accessed at any time, for life.
Yes, there is. Click here to find out more. You need to have either taken the original Digital Language Trainer course or check with us to make sure you have the necessary level to participate.
