How long does the course take to complete?

There is no time pressure to complete the course. You work at your own pace in conjunction with your tutor. Most people take four to five weeks to complete the course. Some take over a year. The choice is yours.

How does the tutor system work?

On enrollment you will be allocated a tutor who will assess your work but also offer you help and encouragement and he or she will answer your questions. Throughout the course you can contact your tutor by e-mail for advice about teaching or employment matters. Support now continues following completion of the course.

How is the course assessed?

Assessment is based on the quality of the written assignments as determined by your tutor. Borderline cases will be passed to another tutor for moderation. Participants are expected to show an understanding of the basic issues covered by the course and an awareness of the problems faced by language learners.

When do I get my certificate?

The certificate is awarded on a straightforward pass or fail basis and will be dispatched within ten days of our receiving your final assignment. The Certificate is printed on 'aged' gold paper and posted to you at the end of the course in a hard backed A4 envelope along with references and final assessment. Anyone failing to reach the required standard will be offered the opportunity to resubmit assignments at no extra cost. This will only be offered once.

The course is full of useful information and although I've yet to teach a live class I already feel like an experienced teacher.

What others are saying about these courses

Thanks for all your help...I've just successfully completed the RSA Certificate and the advice you gave me was invaluable... if I hadn't done your course I'd have probably given up after the first week!

Robyn, France

I have now begun teaching. I started about 3 weeks ago and am enjoying it very much although the first few lessons were hard work! So far all the lessons are 1-1 and cover a wide age range - from an 8 year old to a business woman. Many thanks for all your feedback so far and I look forward to receiving the certificate.

Zainab, Hong Kong

I really appreciate your prompt and excellent feedback on my assignments

Brendan

I've been in Korea for three months now and I'm already saving money! When I started your course I didn't expect to be working abroad so quickly. I'm trying to persuade my brother to do your course...

Sarah, Korea

Thanks for the certificate which I received today. I've got an interview for a summer school job next week and once I've got some practical experience I intend going to Japan to look for work. Thanks again for all the information.

Steve, Brighton, England

I didn't find the course easy but I do believe it's been a great help. The section on home-stays and private teaching interested me as I'd like to work from home...

Margaret, Kent, England

In answer to your question I've been working as a volunteer ESOL teacher since completing the TEFL certificate. I'm hooked now and my next step will probably be a TESOL Masters.
