ALTE Courses             

ALTE offers regular training and development opportunities for assessment professionals, teachers, language schools owners and staff, and all those with an interest in the use and design of language assessment.

Our range of courses varies from our standard courses to bespoke training, developed around  a particular need of an organisation.

Please see below, or check our Events page, to find out which courses will be taking place soon.

Our courses are open to both member, and non-member organisations.

Our courses are  designed around the needs of assessment professionals.  Before we start the course, we will ask you to complete a short needs questionnaire, so we can assess your needs in more detail.
