The Trinity TESOL in a Nutshell

The Trinity TESOL, also known as CertTESOL is backed by the Trinity College in London, U.K. This specific college is dedicated to being the international exam board for performing arts and English language. As such, it has gained worldwide recognition in the ESL field. The British Council, plus most employers, accepts the CertTESOL as an initial teaching qualification.

There are over 100 validated providers of the Trinity TESOL. The course that leads to receiving the certificate is designed for professionals with little to no experience in the classroom. It will prepare you to confidently enter any class with a sound knowledge of teaching methodologies and techniques that will enable students to succeed in their learning English endeavors.

No matter where you go, you will be able to get a job fairly easy with the certificate on your resume. However, don’t be fooled. The CertTESOL is of high caliber and therefore is demanding, but as the saying goes, you get what you put in.
