Trinity Certificate in the Teaching of English to Speakers of Other Languages (CertTESOL)
The CertTESOL is designed for teachers of English to speakers of other languages who have had little or no teaching experience. Candidates may be native or non-native speakers of English; however, a high standard of English language proficiency is required. Besides, candidates must have a good standard of general education; depending on the individual institution running the certificate course, candidates are sometimes required to have graduate-level education or the equivalent. Before a certificate can be awarded, candidates will have to complete a certificate course with at least 120 tuition hours.
Structure
Students are required to produce four or five written assignments during the course and these may include a test of grammar and/or phonology. You will also have to complete a minimum of six hours teaching practice with genuine learners of English. All the above will have to be completed to the recognised standard.
Results
All key components of the course must be passed in order to get a certificate.
