 In order to help learning centers to be successful, Project Light offers comprehensive training on how to set up and run a learning center and train your own tutors.
Our goal is that at the completion of the training, you
will have the personnel trained to begin setting up your
own Project Light Learning Center. We encourage you to send
three participants. Preferably, these will include at least
one Director and one English-speaking tutor trainer. At
least one of these 3 persons needs to speak Spanish and
English if the primary target audience is Hispanic. These
persons will be equipped to train other tutors and organize
the Learning Center, as well as to become tutors
themselves. None of the persons involved with a Project
Light Learning Center need previous teacher training or
experience, but it can be helpful. Previous experiences
with computers i.e. basic computer skills are highly
recommended for the training participants.

Dates are subject to change, so please confirm with us in advance. Click here for the training registration form.
We will begin with registration at 8:30 AM, Friday and
finish with graduation by 6:00PM on Saturday. Click here to see a sample schedule of the training activities.
At the
completion of the training, each Learning Center will
receive the software and manuals purchased to teach Project
Light English and set up your Learning Center (the number
of sets of software depends on the training package which
you select). One of the most important aspects of teaching
Project Light English is the building of relationships
between the people involved, both tutor and student.
Project Light English can be one of the most powerful
ministries providing tools for bridging the gap between
different cultures and building lasting friendships. Please
let us know as soon as possible, if you plan to participate
in one of the training events and how many participants you
would like to send. Use the Registration form for this
purpose. Overview of the Training Schedule. Spaces will be
reserved on a first come-first serve basis.
