people including the graduates’ family members and friends and some officials
of the Anglican Church of Kenya as well as some member of the Kenyan Parliament

June 15, 2010 IFTS has returned to
normal operation
Our investigations in connection with the
matter of academic fraud have been finalised and appropriate action has been
taken. Therefore, IFTS has resumed its full operation with immediate effect.
June 11, 2010 IFTS has
suspended its operation until further notice
We wish to advise the public that IFTS has suspended all its operations
with immediate effect until further notice. This is due to internal
investigations we have to make in connection with cases of academic fraud on
the smaller part of the IFTS student community. Until further notice, there
will be no new enrolments and no graduation procedures. Current and prospective
students are urgently advised to look for other schools to continue or to enrol
for studies. We are unable to help anyone right now and in the near future.
May 07, 2010 We are pleased to announce that the two disks
(cf. March 25, 2010) are now out and available for purchase to the public.
Please note that the courses available on these disks were originally developed
by the IFTS, thereby drawing heavily on third party sources that have been
licensed for public use and distribution. The materials have been used
successfully for teaching in our various IFTS centres and seem to have proved
their worth. We also have free versions of these materials available (fully
identical in terms of contents) for our own and other non-profit projects.
March 25, 2010 More
IFTS Teaching Materials To Be Released To The Public
It is a pleasure to
announce that several IFTS teaching materials developed by IFTS, having been in
active use of the years and that have proved their usefulness, will now be
released for public use. The first of these will be available for purchase in
May 2010. They are:
① Teaching and Learning English As A Second Language
There is more information

.
② Foreign Language Courses taught
to missionaries and other development workers in non-profit projects
