ELT Management

International Diploma in Language Teaching Management (IDLTM)

The language teaching business has been expanding rapidly and globally for many years. This expansion has not only created a demand for language teachers, but also a demand for qualified managers of language teaching centres. New managers are often recruited from the outstanding employees within the industry and in the language teaching business these employees are often teachers. While these people may be excellent teachers, they may not always be successful or well prepared managers.

The International Diploma in Language Teaching Management is designed to address this problem.

The IDLTM course

The IDLTM is a 325-hour flexible mode course [course content] which enables language teaching professionals to:

• extend their knowledge of relevant management principles and practices;
• develop their management skills through the application of this knowledge to a Language Teaching context;
• demonstrate these skills in effective practice as Language Teaching managers

Course Tutors

The team includes Ron White, co-author of 'Management in English Language Teaching' (CUP), George Pickering, management development and training consultant and IATEFL ELT Management SIG Coordinator and Andrew Hockley, project manager and IDLTM Coordinator, SIT Vermont.
