From speaking English to teaching English. An online programme you can join from anywhere in the world.
Both pathways develop practical English-teaching skills. Choose the format that best fits your schedule, location and learning style.
The ability to speak English and the ability to teach it clearly are not the same thing.
Designing lessons around each learner's age, English level and goals — and teaching while checking their understanding — requires specialised knowledge of language acquisition theory, teaching methodology and assessment.
TESOL teaches you, in a systematic way, the theory and practical teaching skills for teaching English to speakers of other languages.
It is a programme for mastering English teaching methods used around the world and becoming an English education professional.
TESOL is not just about expanding your knowledge of English — you learn to build lessons that help learners understand English and actually use it.
Beyond theory, you develop classroom-ready teaching skills through assignments, lesson-plan writing and practice teaching.
Classes are held on weekday evenings and Saturdays, a schedule designed so you can study alongside work or school.
Earning the TESOL qualification takes more than attending classes — it involves a series of assignments and examinations.
TESOL covers the full range of areas English education requires — teaching methodology, language acquisition, assessment design and educational research.
* Modules and assignment content may vary depending on the qualification level and course you enrol in.
TESOL qualifications come at several levels, each differing in what you study and the expertise expected of you.
The higher the qualification level, the more is expected of you — not only classroom delivery, but curriculum design, educational assessment, research and teacher development.
* Level designations and their correspondence to study levels vary by awarding body and applicable qualifications framework. For official qualification titles, levels and RQF mapping, please refer to the latest official information published by the awarding body.
Suited to anyone pursuing work in English education — conversation-school instructor, language-school teacher or online English tutor.
Recommended for teachers who want lessons grounded in language acquisition theory and methodology, rather than experience and intuition alone.
Suited to students who want a professional qualification and teaching skills for future careers in education, study abroad or international exchange.
Recommended if you want a systematic English teaching methodology you can apply even as countries and learning environments change.
Suited to those who want not just to speak English, but to gain the teaching ability to support learners' growth.
