IH has long been the home of innovation in Teacher Training and teacher Development for language teachers. We are now offering open enrolment on our IH COLT course - the IH Certificate in Online Teaching. This course has been written and piloted successfully within IH's internal staff, and is now available to all teachers who wish to learn the new skills required to be a successful Online Tutor. Please visit www.ihonline.net for further information.

We are pleased to announce the latest addition to the IH World network of high-quality language schools. IH Costa Rica (formerly the Instituto Britanico) is now a full member of the IH organisation. IH Costa Rica teaches English and Spanish and you can find more information about them at this website: www.institutobritanico.co.cr

The recent IH World Study Abroad Workshop was held on the idyllic island of Gozo, a short boat trip from Malta. 27 IH schools and 50 agents attended along with a representative from Language Travel Magazine and all agreed it was 'the best workshop I've been to!' A hectic social programme was also arranged which ranged from a traditional Gozitan folklore night to jeep tours and visits to prehistoric sites. Participants also managed to fit in a bbq and wine tasting!
