It is a truth universally acknowledged that an educator in possession of a good knowledge for his subject,
must be in want of a good professional development course. We offer exactly that in our course “Digital Competences for educators”.
It primarily aims to cover the “digital” needs of teachers and trainers, but also goes a bit further:

we present the modern methodologies and last but not least we explore the exciting new role of the teacher
in our complex world. Keep reading to see the details and book now!
