IBEC program is an international certificate program aiming at educating in-service teachers to be IB teachers by offering them opportunities to improve the quality of their classroom teaching, increase their access to teaching jobs worldwide, interact with leading academics for research and publishing consultation, demonstrate their deep understanding of and engagement in student learning. With this aim and objective, an alternative teacher education program to offer IBEC was designed. This is a two-folded case study; in the first part, the design process, and in the second part, the evaluation of the program is discussed. The evaluation of the program was done with the SWOT analysis results of the 70 trainees who attended the program and received their official IBECs. The analysis revealed that while the content of the courses, the quality of the instructors, and the program itself are among the strong areas, a load of assignments, the attitude of some instructors, the last-minute changes in the syllabi were listed among areas of concern.
