Our trainers are highly qualified experts in their field and have a wealth of experience teaching in a face-to-face setting as well as online.

Oxford International is accredited by Trinity College London to deliver the Certificate in TESOL.

Essentially, they are acronyms referring to the same area of education: TESOL stands for Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, TEFL stands for Teaching English as a Foreign Language.

There is a shortage of qualified EFL teachers abroad, so completion of the course should provide you with excellent employment prospects in the current marketplace.

If you intend to do any form of paid work while studying on the course, you should not enrol on a full-time course. Full-time daily attendance is required and you will also need to do written work each evening.

While courses leading to an award of other qualifications exist, they are often very limited in recognition and are not accredited by an independent examinations board. They are therefore essentially a certificate from the school and have limited worth as an aid in acquiring teaching positions globally.

This is what makes the Trinity CertTESOL particularly valuable. Employers also value any practical experience you will have after the course. The CertTESOL will provide you with 6 hours of real teaching experience.
