Britishey Training Centre is delighted to announce the launch of our newly released CertPT (Training Trainers) programme—an innovative, industry-focused qualification designed specifically for English language teachers who are ready to take their expertise to the next level. This specialised version of the CertPT equips experienced teachers with the skills, knowledge, and professional toolkit needed to transition confidently into the world of teacher training.

Accredited by Trinity College London, the CertPT is an internationally recognised Level 6 qualification that bridges the gap between advanced classroom practice and the demanding skill set required for effective teacher training. With Britishey’s many years of experience delivering world-class teacher-education programmes, this new course brings a unique, practical orientation that reflects real training environments across schools, institutes, and corporate education settings.

Why a CertPT for Training Trainers?

Around the world, English teachers are being called upon to train colleagues, mentor new teachers, deliver CPD workshops, or support school-wide pedagogical development. But being an excellent teacher is not the same as being an excellent trainer.

Teacher training requires additional skills such as lesson observation, material adaptation, delivering input sessions, diagnosing teacher needs, evaluating classroom practice, and providing constructive developmental feedback. The Britishey CertPT (Training Trainers) has been designed to fill exactly this gap.

This course gives teachers the structure, guidance, and professional competence to step confidently into roles such as:

• Teacher Trainer

• CELTA/CertTESOL training assistant

• Academic Mentor / Senior Teacher

• Professional Development Coordinator

• In-house CPD Facilitator

International Accreditation by Trinity College London

As with all CertPT qualifications, this course is fully accredited by Trinity College London, a world-leading awarding body renowned for its rigorous standards, professional recognition, and global reputation in teacher education.

This ensures that:

• your qualification is internationally portable

• your training meets established professional standards

• your work is moderated independently and securely

• your certificate is recognised by employers worldwide

• you can continue into higher-level qualifications such as the DipTESOL, DELTA, or MA TESOL

Britishey Training Centre is officially validated to deliver this prestigious qualification, meeting all centre requirements for staffing, assessment, moderation, and academic support.

What the Course Covers

The Britishey CertPT (Training Trainers) focuses on the practical skills and knowledge needed to design and deliver effective teacher training. The course centres around four key modules:

1. Understanding Teachers and Training Needs

• Analysing teacher backgrounds, levels, and contexts

• Identifying strengths, gaps, and developmental priorities

• Understanding adult learning principles in teacher education

2. Designing Professional Development Materials

• Creating, adapting, and evaluating training materials

• Ensuring alignment with pedagogical principles

• Integrating real classroom practice into trainer resources

3. Delivering Effective Input Sessions

• Structuring and presenting training input

• Balancing theory, demonstration, and practical application

• Engaging participants through modelling and task-based design

4. Observing, Supporting, and Giving Feedback

• Conducting constructive lesson observations

• Using evidence-based evaluation

• Giving accurate, supportive, professional feedback

• Guiding teachers through reflective practice and actionable targets

These areas address both the pedagogical and human dimensions of training—ensuring that candidates do not simply “present information,” but rather develop teachers in meaningful and lasting ways.

Why This Course Matters More Than Ever

The ELT landscape is evolving rapidly. Schools and institutes are now prioritising:

• Continuous teacher development cycles

• Evidence-informed teaching practice

• Mentoring systems for new and early-career teachers

• Sustainable in-house training structures

• Clear pathways for teacher leadership

The Britishey CertPT (Training Trainers) responds directly to these global needs. It builds trainers who can guide, inspire, and support teachers—not through authority, but through professional expertise and educational leadership.

Whether you aim to step into school-based training roles, support new teachers, or begin your journey toward becoming a CELTA or CertTESOL trainer, this course provides the essential foundation.
