Professional Development & Recognised Teacher Qualifications
Introduction
Select Ireland schools bring extensive experience in English language education, teacher training and continuing professional development. Across the network, selected centres deliver internationally recognised Cambridge CELTA teacher-training programmes, alongside other accredited TESOL qualifications and advanced professional development.
Teacher-training options include full-time and part-time programmes, with selected online provision also available. For experienced English language teachers looking to progress further, Cambridge DELTA training is available within the Select Ireland network.
Professional development extends beyond formal qualifications, with Erasmus+ eligible programmes covering teaching methodology, CLIL, digital tools and AI, language development, inclusive education, classroom practice and Irish culture.
