About Us
Based in Split, Croatia, we design and deliver high-quality teacher training programmes for educators from across Europe. Our courses combine practical classroom methodology, international experience, and a strong focus on professional growth, all set in a welcoming Mediterranean learning environment.
We believe that effective teacher training should be hands-on, reflective, and immediately applicable in day-to-day classroom activities.
Jantar is an established educational institution with a long tradition in language education, teacher development, and international cooperation. Founded in 1992, we have grown from a local language school into an organization actively involved in Erasmus+ projects, international mobility programs, and innovative teacher training initiatives.
