What you should know about the practice groups
How do these courses differ from the 60 and 120-hour IH courses?
IH Budapest is also a teacher training centre. Each group is also a practice group for the trainee teachers studying with us, where they can put their techniques into practice.
What level of knowledge can I join with?
We currently run practice groups at Pre-Intermediate and Upper-Intermediate level. We assess your level in writing and orally, free of charge.
Who are the teachers?
Our teachers include both native and non-native English speakers — some at the start of their careers, others with many years of experience.
Where can I participate?
You can take part in either format — online or in person. Online lessons are held on Zoom.
