The Trinity College London CertTESOL course (Certificate in Teaching English as a Second/ Other Language) is designed for those with little or no experience of teaching English. It is a practically-oriented course that provides you with the skills and accreditation needed to qualify for employment teaching English as a second or foreign language to adults in Ireland, the UK or overseas.
Trinity’s CertTESOL is accepted by QQI (Quality and Qualifications Ireland), the British Council and other international institutions as an appropriate qualification for teaching English as a Second or Foreign Language in Ireland. It is a requirement that teachers must have this qualification - or its equivalent - in order to teach adult learners who are studying English in Ireland on an International Student visa (ILEP listed).
Trinity’s CertTESOL is regulated by Ofqual (Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation) in England, CCEA Regulation in Northern Ireland and by Qualifications Wales.
This includes the Trinity College London moderation fee and 1 course book
If a place on the CertTESOL course is cancelled fewer than 14 days before the commencement of the course, the full course fee will be charged.
Deposit €400 (Non-Refundable) payable on successful completion of the entrance interview.
