Overview
As one of only 2 internationally accepted and recognised TEFL qualifications, the Trinity CertTESOL will give you what you need to secure employment in English language schools globally.
Features
Many trainees assume that much of the course will be about grammar and indeed many are put off doing the course because they feel their grammar is poor. In reality, the course focuses on a communicative approach to teaching, so classroom teaching techniques and the Teaching Practice you do will be considered more important.
Unlike many “online” or “weekend” TEFL courses, the Trinity course involves at least 6 hours of Teaching Practice. This means you will stand up in front of and teach classes of real learners while you are here. Since the object of the course is to prepare you to go out into the world and teach, this component of the course is heavily weighted and indeed you must pass this component to be awarded the certificate.
North West Academy of English trainees usually start off teaching half hour classes before progressing to a full hour later in the course. Before teaching a class by yourself, you will observe experienced teachers in action and be guided in preparing for your own lessons.
