Schools should recently have received the latest CALL training leaflet with a range of courses available both at the CALL Centre and ones that can be delivered on their site using their own equipment or using the CALL set of training laptops. We welcome enquiries to create courses that are designed for the level of expertise of the staff and the pupils they are working with.
