AccentLink/Marketing Pro

As of October 2024, the AccentLink Pro membership option and the Marketing Essentials course have been combined to create a new training resource membership hub: AccentLink/Marketing Pro.

AccentLink Pro + Marketing Essentials = AccentLink/Marketing Pro

AccentLink Pro membership gives you extended access to exclusive ILP resources, including:

  • the Trainer Directory, where you can showcase your business with a full page-length description and photos
    The directory does not automatically include each professional who completed the P-ESL Certification Course. The directory can be viewed by anyone visiting this site, but only AccentLink members can add themselves to the directory after subscribing to AccentLink Marketing Pro.
  • a members-only downloads area, containing a library of forms and reference tools not made available to the general pool of instructors (including orientation handouts for clients, course outline sheets, weekly assignment handouts and manual assessment forms)
  • the 800-language.com Video Archive – currently featuring the very first edition of Dr. Compton’s complete video training series showing demonstrations and explanations of the critical teaching points as they were originally taught by the creator of the P-ESL system.
  • a Certified P-ESL Instructor digital badge for displaying on websites or other marketing collateral
  • discounts on most trainer products at www.ajcomptonpesl.com

AccentLink/Marketing Pro subscribers are also invited to use Office Hours - 1-on-1 support by appointment with ILP Training Director Joe Comeau (3 30-minute sessions per membership year).

This powerful bundle of business add-ons also includes

the All New Updated Marketing Pro Course
