3 Key Principles of Pilgrims’ Humanistic Approach are:
• Effective teaching and learning engages the whole person - the mind, the body and the heart
• The learner is the central person in the act of learning
• Creativity, involvement and enjoyment are the essential elements for lifelong learning.
Our well-known team of trainers includes Mario Rinvolucri, Chaz Pugliese, Simon Marshall, Sheelagh Deller, Bonnie Tsai, Paul Davis, Hanna Kryszewska, Adrian Underhill and many more dedicated professionals.
Pilgrims Team of Trainers:
• Have trained over 20,000 teachers world-wide

How Pilgrims Teacher Training Courses Work:
• On the first Monday of your course, you and your group will review the course content with your trainer. As far as possible, group needs will be taken into consideration.
• You train with your group and main trainer for 3 hours each morning and 1.5 hours each afternoon, Monday to Friday. Other Pilgrims trainers may deliver some specialist sessions on your course.
• Materials will be partly customised for your group by your trainer, supplemented by published materials and by work presented by your group.
• The style of training is a mix of presentation, workshop, group/pair work and trainee-led sessions.
• Maximum class size is 18.
• You will receive an end of course certificate stating course content, topics covered and hours attended.
Course Materials
Materials will be partly tailor-made for the group by your Pilgrims trainers.
These will be supplemented by photocopies from published and primary sources
(e.g. newspapers). All materials are included in your course fees.
Your Course Certificate
