connecting teachers
The IVS Alliance connect teachers from different schools that offer bilingual education. Through meetings and online platforms we stay in contact to enhance personal and professional contact.
sharing knowledge
The IVS Alliance shares knowledge to further develop quality education. Teachers, students and entrepreneurs share ideas, best practices, learning materials and inspiration.
New developments
Together we develop new programs and materials for students and teachers. Each school uses these programs and materials for their own benefit in a way that fits their college.
Being a member of the IVS Alliance gives me inspiration and support in my career as a teacher. We help each other to move forward into the future.

Crossing borders is in the IVS Alliance genes. From day one the members try to be one step ahead. Offering classes in English, a double diploma program and internships abroad. All initiated by IVS Alliance members. What will be our next crossing?
The path we want to take with our journey
The mission of the IVS Alliance is to grant support requests from teachers within the BTEC program to enable them to matter to students and entrepreneurs. The IVS Alliance trains, engages and inspires members.
How we see our role
The IVS Alliance wants to collectively support bilingual vocational colleges to improve the opportunities for their students.
Business and Technology Education Council (BTEC)
All members of the IVS Alliance, works with different courses of BTEC (e.g. Business, Engineering, Fashion, Hospitality etc) at their schools.
BTEC courses focus on skills-based learning and are designed around themed units. Rather than testing everything together at the end, BTECs are tested throughout the course using assessments based on real-life scenarios. This practical approach allows BTEC learners to develop and apply the knowledge and skills that employers, colleges and universities are looking for. And that means there are plenty of opportunities to learn, improve and succeed.
