Schwerpunkt Zentrum

Professional development courses

In SCHWERPUNKT ZENTRUM GMBH we offer a great variety of training experiences – professional seminars and study visits – aimed at school education staff, teaching and non-teaching. We also provide professional development courses that are an ideal way for European teaching staff to be up to date with the latest methodologies and also with the most innovative technologies applied to training and learning.

These courses are taught by experts on the matter with an eminently practical and interactive approach.

European teachers

They are aimed mainly at teachers, headmasters and the rest of staff in nursery, primary, secondary and adult education centers, as well as vocational education and training teachers.

These courses are specially indicated for those who want to update their knowledge in a multicultural environment.

Interculturality

All of our courses are taught in English and as they welcome teaching staff from all over Europe, they guarantee the exchange of good practices amongst peers from different countries, promoting interculturality and personal enrichment.

Courses rich in experiences

Professional development courses generally have a duration of 1 week split into 4 sessions in the classroom plus one last session visiting an education center.

We always enjoy moments of socializing amongst participants, such as a visit to Dusseldorf’s historic center, as well as a farewell recreational activity.

We also offer customizable courses with regards to duration, dates and topics.
