CIE runs an extensive programme of face–to–face two–day workshops across the world for teachers at Cambridge schools. The workshops are run by an experienced CIE trainer and offer teachers the chance to update their knowledge, learn new skills and network with other teachers.
Three types of online course are currently available to CIE Centres:
Online self–study
Essential information for teachers who are new to the syllabus and activities that prepare them for delivering the course. These courses do not have a tutor.
Online tutor–led

Online seminars
These courses are led over a short period by an e–tutor and focus on specific issues such as syllabus changes or the recent Examination session.
