IH Bucharest

Bucharest, Romania

With a 100% pass rate across our teacher training courses, IH Bucharest is one of Romania’s most trusted centres for internationally recognised teacher development.

For almost 25 years, we have supported teachers at every stage of their professional journey, offering Cambridge-accredited and internationally recognised qualifications including TKT, CELTA, DELTA, IHCYLT and IHVYL.

We are the only DELTA centre in Romania and the only centre in the country where teachers can access the full Cambridge teacher training pathway — from TKT to CELTA and DELTA. We are also the only provider in Romania offering IHCYLT and IHVYL, specialist qualifications for teachers who work with young learners and very young learners.

Our courses are practical, rigorous and supportive. Teachers leave with clearer lesson planning, stronger classroom techniques, more confidence and qualifications that are recognised in Romania and internationally.

IH Bucharest is EAQUALS accredited, with excellence confirmed in all areas of teaching and learning in the last two inspections. As part of the International House global network, we bring decades of teacher training expertise into a human, professional and highly practical learning environment.

Our teacher training approach is also shaped by a wider educational vision. IH Bucharest is the only RULER-accredited centre in Romania, through the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, and the only centre in Romania that is part of the Thinking Schools Network. This means we help teachers develop not only methodology and language awareness, but also the emotional intelligence and critical thinking needed to create stronger learning environments.

Beyond formal qualifications, we also support teachers through free webinars, practical resources and a growing community of like-minded professionals who want to learn, share and develop together.

Life in and around Bucharest

Bucharest is a grand historic city. The Palace of the Parliament,  also known as the People’s House, is the 2nd largest administrative building in the world and a testament to the paradoxes of the communist regime in Romania. It’s always a must see for foreign visitors to our cities, alongside our very own Arc de Triomphe, a village museum that can take you on a journey through all the regions of Romania on one sunny afternoon, and a multitude of parks and gardens that you can take a stroll in before you finally settle down for a drink and something to eat in the Old Centre, the very life and soul of the city.

Bucharest is ideally located for weekend getaways. You can, for example, spend a weekend in the Carpathian mountains or simply explore beautiful mountain towns such as Sinaia, complete with a visit to one of the most beautiful castles in Romania, the Peleș Castle. If you come in summer, the seaside is also only 2-3 hours away, so you can also enjoy a quick weekend by the Black Sea. 

 

Studying at IH Bucharest

Being a European capital, Bucharest is very well connected through its international airport so you can easily find affordable flights to and from here. Of course there are also train and bus connections with neighbouring countries, but flying is still the most convenient way to get here.

The school is 2 minutes away from a subway station and a 15-minute walk from the centre of Bucharest. There are also several bus and tram routes passing by our school. There are also free parking spots in the street, although it can be difficult to find one available on busy days. Taxis, Uber, and Bolt may also be options if you need to get around town fast, and you can also use Lime scooters if you fancy a bit more mobility.

There are two canteens within walking distance (2-5 minutes) from the school which offer a good variety of dishes every day for very reasonable prices, as well as two very nice coffee shops where you can take a break during the course.

We also have two supermarkets (Carrefour and Mega Image) in very close proximity, as well as several smaller corner shops.

Accommodation

On booking your place on one of our courses, it is advisable for you to look for accommodation in an area within walking distance of our centre or easily reached by subway, bus or tram. The most convenient accommodation solution for you is probably to rent an apartment and share it with a colleague. There are also several hotels and hostels nearby that may meet your requirements in terms of comfort and price.  We will give you advice on where to book, but we don't book it for you. 

You should expect to pay around 120 EUR/week for accommodation in a central location.
