About this bundle
The Color Vowel® Journey for Teachers consists of three levels. Levels 1 and 2 provide the knowledge and skills for effective English language teaching with the Color Vowel® Approach, while Level 3 transforms excellent teachers into effective teacher trainers.
With Level 3 certification, trainers may teach courses for ELTS or seek licensing that positions them to deliver licensed Color Vowel® Level 1 training for their school or organization.
