The IH Certificate in Teaching Very Young Learners (IH VYL) is offered through our Online Teacher Training Institute. The course will prepare teachers for the specific challenges and methods of working with very young learners, aged 6 and below, through 10 online sessions. These will teach you how to plan lessons, incorporate music and games, manage the classroom, among many other topics.
The next start date for this course is 29th May 2021. With this in mind, we’ve spoken to past participants of the IH VYL about their learning experiences during the course. Find out more below!
