Professional Development Opportunities

BUSEL is not only committed to ensuring the recruitment of qualified instructors, but also to encouraging the continual professional development of them. To ensure and maintain quality teaching and learning and to keep up with recent developments in the ELT profession BUSEL has a staff development program which provides a variety of activities to suit the needs and interests of the teaching staff and the institution. Some of the activities include international conferences, formal training courses, short courses on specialized topic areas, and workshops.

Training

The suite of qualifications offered by our Centre for Instructor Development and Education (CIDE) includes:
ICELT - Cambridge University  ESOL In-service Certificate in Eng. Lang. Teaching
CELTA - Cambridge University ESOL Certificate in Eng. Lang. Teaching to Adults*
DELTA - Cambridge University ESOL Diploma in Eng. Lang. Teaching to Adults

As well as these formal courses BUSEL offers a variety of courses on specialized topic areas and workshops on practical teaching issues. All courses are given by BUSEL members, and instructors are encouraged to give workshops as part of the workshop program. Through these teacher training opportunities instructors both upgrade their qualifications and improve their knowledge and skills, ultimately ensuring better teaching and learning within the school.
