Certification
This exciting new program motivates students and leads to increased enrollment and retention. DynEd schools and training partners are authorized to issue skill-level Certificates to qualified students who complete a series of courses and tests.
Reliable English certification has great value for your students, whether they are heading for university or applying for a job. Providing evidence of a required proficiency level is easy with DynEd’s new English Certification Program and can give your students a goal to work toward.
Our Certificate skill levels are aligned to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). Because our assessment tools have been developed from extensive experience and feedback, students can demonstrate the skill levels set forth on their DynEd Certificate with confidence.
Unlike most certification programs, the accuracy of our certificates is not based on a single test. DynEd Certification measures progress and performance across time, as students complete a series of requirements. To find out more about how your school can participate, contact your DynEd representative today.

Training Approach
DynEd Training Programs ensure the most effective use of DynEd courseware. An integral element of the DynEd’s success around the world is our commitment to provide both initial and ongoing support for DynEd teachers. This training orients teachers and program administrators to DynEd’s unique, neuroscience-based theories of language learning and assessment.
Teacher Training Course
Teachers learn the benefits of blended instruction where deep learning and practice takes place outside the classroom, allowing for more lively and motivating activities in the classroom or with a tutor.
Teaching English: A Brain-based Approach is a professional training course for teachers of English who wish to introduce technology into their classes. DynEd’s proprietary Recursive Hierarchical Recognition is the cognitive neuroscience learning theory underlying DynEd solutions; it brings learning to a new level.
DynEd approaches language learning as a set of skills to be practiced and acquired, with students following a suitable learning path and training schedule. Ideally, DynEd study is supported by coaching and classroom activities, which allow students to extend and personalize the content they have practiced in the courses. This cost-effective blend of technology and classroom increases student motivation, builds confidence, and leads to long-term learning.
This course is also suitable for graduate teacher training programs that wish to better prepare teachers to use technology for language learning, and/or explore a groundbreaking, cognitive neuroscientific approach that is becoming more widely used.
Teacher Support
DynEd courses give students the skills and confidence to participate in communicative activities led by teachers. Each DynEd course includes extensive materials to support teachers as they integrate DynEd into their lesson plans.
Teacher’s Guides
Instructor’s Guides provide complete overviews of the language and content of each course, allowing teachers and coaches to blend classroom instruction with DynEd learning.
The Guides also include reproducible Written Exercises to reinforce the content and language of the course. For some courses, the Written Exercises are available as separate Workbooks.
Scope and Sequences
In DynEd’s core courses, the presentation of language takes advantage of the human brain’s hierarchical memory structure and ability to recognize and manipulate patterns at a subconscious level. No other language courseware provider has developed this unique approach to language sequencing.
Extension Activities
DynEd lessons come alive when classroom or tutor-led activities have students extend and personalize the language they have studied. DynEd provides teachers with Classroom Extension Activities to accompany each DynEd lesson.
