The course is designed by Trinity College London to meet the criteria necessary to be an accredited Level 4 course within the stipulations of the UK government's Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) and means that the course provides a credit at this level which is of degree standard in the UK.
In accordance the main arbitor of English language teaching internationally, the British Council, promotes the certificate as one of only two which it usually regards as being fully professional.

The Trinity College London Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (CertTESOL) is designed for those with little or no experience of teaching English. It equips you with the basic skills and knowledge needed to take up a first post as ESOL teachers and gives you a firm foundation for self-evaluation and further professional development. This is achieved through attending lectures and workshops that cover language awareness, teaching methodology, learner profiling and production of classroom materials. Group work, teaching practice and observations are also included.

Each course runs for a minimum of 130 programmed hours. Every trainee has to attend a full course and complete all assignments, including teaching practice, to the required standard in order to qualify for the award. A minimum of 15 hours' private study is usually also required.

We believe in learning through involvement, and students are expected to participate in many different ways during the sessions. Where necessary information will be supplied, but more commonly you will experience a workshop approach, where your tutor acts as a "facilitator/animator" rather than as a lecturer. The course will include the following components to be formally and individually assessed:

- Teaching Skills
- Language Awareness
- The Learner Profile
- The Materials Assignment
- The Unknown Language
