Select a course which matches your schedule, budget, and aims. Each of these self-study TEFL options will help you develop your knowledge and practical teaching skills using content adapted from our Trinity CertTESOL course. You will find our TEFL courses more in-depth and challenging than some of the fast-track certificates available elsewhere, but you will experience first class training to help you become an effective English teacher who can have a positive impact on your students.
You can progress through these courses at your own pace, watching videos, listening to podcasts, observing lessons, sharing ideas with peers and completing reflective tasks. There are quizzes within all courses to ensure that you have grasped the key concepts from each module.
In all courses, you will cover the following modules in varying degrees of detail from basic to advanced.
- Essential skills for Teaching English as a Foreign Language
- Preparing Lessons
- Teaching Techniques
- Learning About English Language
- Teaching Language and Skills
- Professional Development
You will receive your internationally recognised digital credential as soon as you complete the course. Your digital credential includes an e-certificate, which can be downloaded and printed, and a credential badge which can be displayed on your social media and LinkedIn profiles, allowing you to showcase your achievements.
Our credentials are incorruptible digital certificates encoded on blockchain, to ensure they cannot be altered or copied by anyone and can be easily verified by institutions. We use the same credential issuing platform as leading universities including Harvard, Oxford, Berkeley, and Johns Hopkins.
