Course Description

---

This structured Certificate in TESOL TEFL certificate enjoys international recognition as an initial qualification due to its prestigious accreditation with the College of Teachers, the chartered body for the teaching profession. Successful completion of an INTESOL distance learning TEFL course demonstrates your initiative, self-motivation and ability to manage your time efficiently.

Course Structure
The Cert TESOL distance learning/online TEFL course consists of 10 modules, with each module being illustrated by practical methods and strategies for use in the ESOL/EFL classroom. At the end of each module you will have a set of tasks to complete and return to your personal tutor. With each returned module you will receive an assessment sheet, which allows your trainer to comment on your progress, give advice and guidance for future modules. INTESOL uses a carefully structured approach to learning and will help you every step of the way. If you feel you are in difficulties with any aspect of the course you are able to contact us by email, phone, fax or letter. Courses are available on CD-ROM or paper copy, which gives you the option to study by email or correspondence; whichever works best for you.

Course aims
The overall aim of the INTESOL Certificate in TESOL (Cert TESOL) is to show you how to become a confident, well-resourced, professional EFL/ESOL teacher, whatever your background. The course contains a balance between the practice, theory and methodology of Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, and will thoroughly prepare you for teaching in any overseas environment.

Course Duration
The length of time it takes to complete the course depends on your other commitments. There are approximately 120 - 150 hours of work involved in the course. As a general guideline most students complete the course within 3 - 6 months, however if you require more time this is not a problem. If you are in a hurry, for example due to an overseas deadline, inform your tutor who will guide you through the course and enable you to complete it more quickly.
