Program Description

International Education works in collaboration with the Faculty of Education at the University of Victoria to provide educational opportunities for in-service professionals covering various fields of interest ranging from early childhood education to the post-secondary level. International Education also works in cooperation with the English Language Centre to support the delivery of content courses designed for international students who require additional language instruction

We offer short-term professional development programs throughout the year that can be customized to fit the schedules, interests and needs of groups of international educators. We can offer programs to any size group, however for the best price and classroom experience we recommend a minimum of 15 participants. Classes are interactive and may include class discussions, group work, guest lecturers, and field trips.
