What is NILE?

NILE offers courses and consultancy for teachers, trainers and other language education professionals in Norwich, UK, and worldwide.

NILE is one of the world’s biggest providers of training and development for English language teaching. Since 1995, we have trained over 70,000 teachers from over 90 different countries, ranging from short specialist courses to Cambridge CELTA and DELTA and a modular MA specially designed for ELT teachers and trainers.

As well as providing training courses online, in the UK and overseas, we are regularly involved in the development and implementation of large-scale education reform projects around the world. We have built successful links and partnerships with national and regional education ministries and with prestigious teacher education institutions globally.

Our award-winning digital division ‘NILE Online’ is responsible for the design and delivery of our well-established online teacher training and development programme. This programme is suitable for all teachers, ranging from those with low levels of language, qualification and experience, to a full Master’s programme. This is a unique, tutor-led programme, with a range of innovative, interactive functions, attracting education ministries worldwide.

NILE is a member of English UK, accredited by the British Council for the teaching of English in the UK and Eaquals for our teacher professional development courses, and by AQUEDUTO for NILE Online. These programmes also adhere to the British Council’s Code of Practice for Online ELT. These accreditations and memberships also underline NILE's commitment to staff welfare, and we take great pride in our high environmental standards.

At NILE, we work with education professionals across all areas of ELT, from teachers at primary to tertiary level, to university and government ministries.

If you are involved in language education and have a professional development need, NILE is the institute to come to.
