Ben manages the school and the team and promotes teacher training, summer school and school projects.
When not at school Ben tries to keep up with Lili (14), Fred (11) and Ted (7), and enjoys running and swimming and playing with his band Exeter's very own Southern Troubadors. Julie trained as a state secondary school teacher before moving into the world of EFL. She is responsible for the academic aspects of junior and adult courses at IPC as well as teaching and training herself from time to time.

You can attend different courses related with Teacher Training and English Language training. The trainers are highly qualified professionals with a wide experience of teaching and learning. The staff is lovely, professional, experienced and creative. Comfortable classrooms, a kitchen which dispenses many thousands of free cups of tea and coffee to course participants. I attended a CLIL methodology course and it was really useful for me. Greetings for all IPC staff.
