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.
