Trinity Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL)

The Trinity Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (CertTESOL) is a TESOL or TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certificate designed for those with little or no experience of teaching English. It equips candidates with the basic skills and knowledge needed to take up a first post as an EFL teacher. It gives an introduction to the theory and practice of contemporary English teaching and an insight
into the challenges facing the learner and the role of the teacher.
The Cert TESOL is accredited in England by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority at Level 4 of the National Qualifications Framework. It is accepted by the British Council as an initial TESOL or TEFL qualification for teachers in its accredited teaching organisations in the UK and in its own teaching operations overseas. Credits are also awarded towards degree programmes offered by the Open University in the UK.

This intensive course (09.00 - 17.00, Monday - Friday) of lectures, seminars and practical workshops is available to both native and non-native speakers.
