Cambridge ESOL and Trinity College London
There are many courses offered for people who wish to gain a
qualification in Teaching English to speakers of other languages
(TESOL). The choice can be confusing. It is important to choose
a course that will lead to a reputable qualification that is
recognised by employers around the world.
Two validating bodies, offering a range of qualifications for
both native speaker and non-native speaker teachers stand out
from the rest in terms of international recognition. They are
Cambridge
ESOL and Trinity
College London. |
|
Both offer courses for new and practising teachers.
Each Cambridge or Trinity College centre is approved, after
going through a rigorous validation process, to run one or more
of their courses. Each course, wherever it is run in the world
is assessed or moderated, by a validated assessor or moderator
who is not a member of staff of the centre running the course.
This ensures that the high standards set by the two validating
bodies are maintained and that every trainee can be confident
that the qualification will remain widely respected and recognised
by employers internationally

Saxoncourt Teacher Training has a long history of working closely
with both Cambridge ESOL and Trinity College London .
We offer courses leading to the Cambridge
CELTA and Trinity
College London Cert. TESOL for people wishing to enter the
profession of TESOL*. We are also validated to offer courses
leading to the Cambridge DELTA and the Trinity College Diploma
(TESOL) for teachers who have at least two years full time experience.
If you have passed the CELTA and wish to have a specialisation
in teaching Young Learners you can do our Young
Learner Extension course (YLE). On passing your YLE course,
your CELTA certificate will be re-issued with a further endorsement
that states that you have also gained the YLE qualification.
At present we are the only training centre in the UK that offers
the YLE course.
Trinity College London has also recently entered into a new
Quality Assurance scheme with Saxoncourt for the introductory
teaching skills courses that we run for GAP volunteers who go
to school placements in one of 17 possible countries worldwide.
Saxoncourt are the sole provider of these courses in the UK
for the Year Out organisation Gap
Activity Projects (GAP), who are based in Reading and have
a 30 year history of organising GAP teaching, caring and environmental
projects. Click here

GAP.

of year. If you are interested in any particular course, click
