INTRODUCTION TO OXFORD TEACHERS’
ACADEMY (OTA)
Oxford Teachers’ Academy (OTA) courses
provide quality teacher training, approved and
certified by the Oxford University Department
for Continuing Education (OUDCE), with lasting
benefits to your teachers. The OTA’s 18-hour
courses are designed specifically for in‑service
teachers. The courses help your teachers develop
the skills they need to meet your learning goals
as the teacher training focuses on pedagogical
challenges, as well as addressing the evolving
new technologies and new methodologies in
today’s education system.
Short and practical, the courses have been
developed by Oxford University Press in
collaboration with the Oxford University
Department for Continuing Education. OTA has
run courses in over 30 countries, for more than
15 years, making a difference through education
and learning to thousands of teachers and
students.
METHODOLOGY
The courses constitute lectures of key concepts
with interactive presentations, role-plays, short
video clips, energizers, case-studies, individual
and group presentations, as well as group
discussions to consolidate successful learning.
“
‘Research shows that professional
development is much more
likely to be effective when it is
classroom‑based and when it
brings in expertise from outside the
school.’
Dr Catherine Walter,
University Lecturer in Applied Linguistics,
Department of Education,
University of Oxford
‘The Oxford Teachers’ Academy has
clearly changed people’s lives. I
have yet to come across anyone
who didn’t get an awful lot out of
the Oxford Teachers’ Academy.’
Dr Charles Boyle,
The Director of British and Cultural Studies,
Oxford University Department for
Continuing Education (OUDCE)
‘An OTA course gives teachers
the best of both worlds: they are
free to experiment without the
pressure of assessment, but at the
same time the course leads to a
Certificate. Teachers value OTA’s
flexibility—and the Certificate is
highly prized.’
Tim Herdon,
Senior Teacher Trainer,
Oxford University Press
CERTIFICATION
Every teacher who successfully completes the programme and provides evidence of learning
receives a Certificate of Completion issued by Oxford University Press and certified by Oxford

were extremely important for all of
us. The new techniques we learned
will help us manage even the most
problematic classes.’
English teacher,
Bulgaria
‘The OTA training helped me think
about learning and students in a
different way—to create a warmer
atmosphere, relax students, and
make them enjoy the classes. It has
helped me get them more involved
in the process of learning.’
