Employers in language education show a clear preference for applicants who hold recognised TESOL qualifications such as those from Trinity College London. Not only do these qualifications make you a stronger candidate when looking for a teaching position, but rewards and further opportunities are greater for teachers with a recognised teaching certificate.
Consider where you are on your own teaching journey. Think about your schedule, current academic credentials, ESOL teaching experience, teaching goals and budget, before selecting the right Trinity qualification for you.

If you are unable to attend in-person sessions, you can choose to take the qualification as a fully online course with Teaching Practice and tutor input via Zoom.
Training input on our Trinity qualification courses is divided between self-paced online modules on our learning platform and live online workshops with a tutor.
Not only will you develop essential skills in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, you will also develop core digital literacy skills that can give you an edge in your future career.
We’ve created high quality online modules using videos, presentations and tasks, to ensure that you get the best possible study experience. In this video, one of our teacher trainers, Laura, explains our approach when adapting the CertTESOL course. You will find the same level of quality and professionalism across all of our courses.
