Course description

This course is a highly practical distance learning programme allowing you to develop the skills and techniques needed in classroom teaching. It also considers some theoretical issues behind the practice and principles of TEFL / TESOL. The testing of English and the preparation of teaching materials are explored. The course is intended for both native speakers and non-native speakers of English.

This 250-hour TEFL / TESOL certificate course is primarily designed for people who:

  • are seeking a career in teaching English — no previous teaching experience is needed — in the UK or another country;
  • want an advanced certificate; or
  • are working in a TEFL / TESOL post without a formal teaching qualification.

Certificates

On successful completion of the course you will receive an Advanced TEFL Certificate from the English Training Centre. You will also be entitled to a 250-hour Advanced TEFL Certificate from ACCREDITAT. If you prefer, you can opt for a TESOL Certificate from ACTDEC. An additional fee is payable directly to the independent accreditation body Accreditat (£15) or ACTDEC (£25).

What's the difference between an advanced TEFL / TESOL certificate and a diploma?

An advanced certificate-level course should provide about 250 hours of study. A diploma should be about 450 hours in length. Applicants for a diploma course will normally already hold a TEFL or TESOL certificate and have some teaching experience.
