About us
Grade University is a part of Grade Education Centre (UA007) — a platinum Cambridge Assessment English centre, based in Kyiv, Ukraine.
We have been working with all Cambridge Assessment English exams (YL, Key, Preliminary, First, Advanced, Proficiency) as well as with Cambridge teaching qualifications (TKT all modules, CELTA, DELTA all modules) since 2008.
Alongside with Cambridge qualifications, our Teacher Training Centre conducts webinars, workshops, conferences, and other useful activities for teachers.
The idea
Being in the field of ELT for over 14 years now, we have noticed the need for more opportunities for teachers who seek convenient and up-to-date sources for professional development.
Understanding how fast the world is changing and what difficulties teachers encounter, we thought that the best way to help would be to create…
...an online self-study platform!
In this way, teachers will have access to their courses any day, any time; there is no need to adjust their schedule in order to receive knowledge. So we gathered the best authors we know to create practical and interactive courses for teachers to learn new and advance existing teaching skills.
