These are just some of the adjectives volunteered by our trainees.
Do they make it sound appealing?
Do you want to travel?
Are you looking for an international English language teaching qualification?
Can you cope with an intensive four week course?
If you answered YES to all the above, then the CertTESOL is for you.
Our next course runs from 8th October until 2nd November 2018 and there are still a few places left.
Participants enrol on our CertTESOL courses for different reasons:
- some are looking to launch a career in language teaching
- some want to work while on their gap year
- some already have teaching experience but need a qualification
- others just want a career change
Whatever your reason, the Trinity CertTESOL can help. It’s one of the main qualifications in English language teaching and recognised world-wide by schools, governments, NGOs as well as multi-nationals. Doing our ELA/Trinity course means you can move into the next phase of your career with confidence or move abroad knowing you’ll work for a reputable school.
What we offer:
- 6 hours of assessed teaching practice
- the opportunity to profile a learner by interviewing him/her, analyse their language and subsequently give a 1-2-1 lesson
- experience in creating and producing your own materials
- a competitive price: currently it’s £925 at ELA-Edinburgh
Course Content:
The CertTESOL is made up of 5 units and involves 130 timetabled hours, ten of which you will spend observing qualified teachers and teaching volunteer students from many different countries. You need to pass all five assignments to be awarded the qualification, but our experienced and highly qualified trainers will support you every step of the way.
At ELA-Edinburgh your day will normally be:
09:00-12:15-methodology and language input sessions with your trainers
12:15-13:00 Lunch
13:00-18:00 Lesson planning, teaching and observations.
Nearly everyone who has done a CertTESOL course remembers it as an intense but extremely rewarding 4 weeks. Reading between the lines: expect a great experience but be prepared to put in a lot of hard work!
Non-native teachers
We have many non-native speakers on our course, but they need to do a pre-course interview with the Course Director, before being accepted on to the course. Trinity trainees need IELTS 7.0 in all skills, or equivalent, to participate, but it’s the CD who has the final say.
If you feel your level of English may fall short of this, don’t worry. ELA has purposefully designed intensive courses to prepare you for the CertTESOL.
Remember, as you’ll be participating in an educational course you might qualify for the Erasmus+ Programme, specifically designed for lifelong learning.
If you still haven’t made up you mind, have a glance at some of our earlier blogs for ideas of great places to jet off to when you’ve finished your course at ELA-Edinburgh.
