Cohort

8 seats

so you get taught, not streamed

Registering interest costs nothing and commits you to nothing. We will contact you with the start date and answer your questions before anyone pays anything.

What you get for the fee

Live teaching, not a video library

Every session is taught in real time by your trainer, in the same classroom our students learn in. You can ask questions and get answers.

Your teaching is watched and marked

You teach; your trainer observes and gives you written feedback. That is the part self-study courses cannot give you, and the part that makes you employable.

A small group

Cohorts are capped at 8 so your trainer knows your name and your weaknesses.

A certificate when you pass

Issued on completion and verifiable online by any employer who asks.

A place to actually teach

Pass, and your certificate is attached to your LingoConnect teaching profile automatically — no re-uploading documents and waiting on a review.

    Pay the course fee to hold your seat in the cohort.

  3. 3

    Learn, live

    2 sessions a week for 12 weeks, scheduled around a working life.

  4. 4

    Be assessed

    Coursework and observed teaching practice, marked by your trainer with feedback you can act on.

  5. 5

    Start teaching

    Pass, and you finish setting up your teacher profile and begin taking bookings from real students.

Worth knowing before you apply

Passing is not automatic

Your teaching practice is assessed by a person, not a quiz. If you are not ready you will be told what to work on rather than handed a certificate.

A certificate here is not automatically a job here

Passing attaches your certificate to your teaching profile and skips the document review. You still complete the same profile and introduction video every teacher on LingoConnect completes before students can book you.
