Primary Upskilling Courses 2025/26

Primary School Teachers

Registered with the Teaching Council!

You have access to FREE Language Upskilling courses as administered by PPLI Languages Connect and funded by the Department of Education and Youth

Our teachers are all native, qualified and experienced teachers who understand English. All our courses come with their own FREE set of Teaching Materials ready to use in your classroom: WE ARE TEACHERS! WE UNDERSTAND YOU!

With our courses, you also get access two hours of unsupervised Online Conversation space to practice the language, complete tasks and discuss language teaching in your own classroom, with the other course participants.

Classes are two hours in duration at the following times each day: 3:15 - 5:15pm or 6:15 - 8:15pm. When you register you can select your preferred start time.

We offer a comprehensive range of Language Upskilling courses designed to accommodate varying proficiency levels, enabling teachers to select and complete the courses that best align with their individual learning needs.

In 2026, the course weeks are:

(TERM 1) Jan 12th, Jan 19th, Jan 26th, Feb 9th, Feb 23rd, Mar 2nd, Mar 9th, Mar 23rd, Apr 13th, Apr 20th, Apr 27th and May 11th (these may change slightly)

The Welcome Pack that we will email you once a course is full will explain everything!

Do you have questions? Email us or text, WhatsApp or call 086 365 9715 with your questions! Email and WhatsApp are the easiest ways to get through as we may be busy teaching the Say Yes to Languages programs in Primary Schools during school hours.
