According to British regulations, all professionals (lawyers, doctors, teachers, principals, engineers, etc.) must attend a certain number of CPD courses per year and obtain a CPD certificate.

Through professional CPD training courses, large numbers of education practitioners can update industry skills, broaden their horizons, solve bottlenecks encountered in career development and boost the competitiveness of their CVs. This training has the potential to open up a broader and more fruitful career path.

In 2017, BIEA independently developed the UK International Education Training Course. This officially approved course provides opportunities for practitioners around the world to learn and understand British approaches to education. BIEA are currently the only UK-based institution to focus exclusively on British international education CPD training outside the UK.

Benefits of the course include:
a) Instruction by experts
b) Curriculum designed by British education and training experts, combining the needs of different overseas markets. All courses are CPD certified.
c) Each trainee who participates in BIEA training can obtain a CPD UK International Education Professional Development (Principals/Directors, Other Managers, Teachers) certificate upon completion.
d) Workshops are integrated with the courses and contain idea exchanges and face-to-face interaction with British teachers.
e) Broad range of content from basic principles to latest hot topics and trends.
f) UK study tour to visit UK nurseries and opportunities to observe classrooms, giving trainees practical experience.
g) The certificate holder can assist their home organisation to obtain BIEA E-League and S-League accreditation.

What is E-League?

BIEA Early Years League (E-League) is an international alliance dedicated for overseas education practitioners and organisations who wish to provide the best British early years education (0-5 years old) and adopt the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework to enable children and parents to experience high quality education.

What does E-League offer?

E-League’s essence is based on the British EYFS concept, which provides five core supports for the development of its members.

1. Comprehensive bilingual EYFS support materials

BIEA provides members with a set of bilingual Early Years Foundation Stage Framework support materials which include practice guidance manuals covering a range of topics, the EYFS statutory framework and examples of best practice. The materials are translated to the national language of the host country the member is operating in and enables the effective delivery of the EYFS in an international context.

2. Authentic EYFS education training

BIEA is the leading CPD certification body in the UK with qualifications in providing overseas international early years education vocational training. It has an exclusive teaching and training base in the UK, providing a series of trainings for early years education practitioners worldwide and guarantees that they are taught by first-tier teachers and leaders of education.

3. British experts to visit the nurseries to provide guidance

E-League consults with and employs only the best international EYFS experts to provide members with on-going tailored support to enable them to effectively run a nursery overseas. BIEA experts quality review the impact of teaching and learning on children’s outcomes and provide suggestions and guidance to ensure the nursery is delivering the EYFS to high standards.

4. A convenient E-marketplace

To support members find products and resources while teaching overseas, BIEA has gathered the resources of well-known educational companies worldwide. The E-marketplace provides member access to a range of discounts and offers from companies who provide resources to support the implementation of the EYFS.

5. Authoritative E-League Quality (ELQ) accreditation 

Schools and nurseries delivering the EYFS curriculum overseas can work towards an internationally recognised accreditation from BIEA. The accreditation is a quality Kitemark endorsement that the organisation is delivering the EYFS to British Education Standards. The ELQ Standards Framework has been developed through consultation within organisations delivering the EYFS in an international context and accredits against Four Core Principles: Education Programme, Inclusion, Organisation and Children’s Well-Being. With the BIEA’s ELQ Accreditation, nurseries and schools can reassure parents and instil confidence to parents that they have made the right choice and that their young child will experience the best possible British education.
