What if I don’t have time for the course?

Taking the course is a small investment to enhance your future. With the program lasting only 4 weeks (full-time course) or 8 weeks (part-time course), you are able to quickly obtain this certificate and begin searching for employment. At the end of the course, you are equipped with the TESOL certificate, experience, and CV development input to begin applying for open English teaching positions.

Our former students consistently tell us that upon completion of the course, they feel fully confident with their knowledge and experience to begin teaching in the English classroom the very next day if the opportunity arose!

What if I’m a non-native English speaker?

Being a non-native English speaker can benefit you in many ways. Having been a student of a foreign language makes you aware of the difficulties that an English student might find and therefore you are able to help and support them.
