English and Training for Schools

How can we help your school?
This is how we have helped other schools in Portugal

See which of our five packages is best for you, then contact us.

We are recognised by DGERT

1: Your students – our classrooms
You can send your classes to our premises.

We can teach groups of your students using our syllabuses, or our innovative courses in "teaching English through…" drama, cookery and so on.

2: Our teachers on your premises
We can give English classes in your school.

We will send you fully-qualified native-speaker level teachers who will teach our courses or other extra-curricular activities on your premises.

3: Teacher development
We can offer workshops, seminars and courses in teaching English.

These range from language development and classroom management skills, to specialist training in CLIL and Bilingual teaching.

These can also lead to qualifications, such as TKT and British Council distance training courses using Moodle.

The workshops and courses can be on our premises or on yours. In some of our centres, we also offer Teacher Development Workshops which are open to the public – you could also send your teachers to those. Find out more on our Teach English pages, or contact us for more details.

4: Problem solving and consultations
Perhaps you have a particular problem with the teaching of English in your school and would like our help and support?

In the past we have helped schools through advising on syllabus design, running exam preparation courses, and advising on teacher development programmes.

The British Council is a global organisation, and we have access to a vast range of resources and skills, including many online resources. Together we can find the solution to improve your school.

Let us help you. Contact Veronica Senior, our Special Language Services Manager, to discuss this further.

5: British Council Testing Service
We can offer schools a range of options.

1) Administer University of Cambridge Tests on your premises*. You can offer the full range of Starter. Mover and Flyer tests.

2) Make your school a Cambridge Exanimations Centre. You will then be able to register your own candidates on your premises, access their results, and provide them with a better service.

Contact our Testing Service for more information on 213 214 510.
