Training Link Online:
Training Link Online is based in Sheffield, in the UK and offers the very highest calibre of distance learning TESOL/TEFL courses. We take teacher training seriously and that is reflected in our thorough, long-established courses and highly professional tuition. Our courses are delivered via PDF downloads and most come with audio materials (usually on audio-CD). Training Link Online's TESOL courses are all accredited by ACTDEC. Teaching Practice at our partner school in Gran Canaria, Spain is available year-round.

Training Link Online, part of the Eurolink group, was set up as a separate organisation in response to the demand for relatively short, but highly professional, initial distance-learning programmes of a practical nature. In time, Training Link Online has grown to offer the same courses as Eurolink, but with a price advantage due to the courses being delivered via downloads. The course set books are also included, so bear this in mind when comparing prices!
Courses / Programs:TESOL / TEFL Courses: Preliminary Certificate in TESOL, Certificate (Educational Studies) in TESOL, Higher Certificate (Theory & Methodology) in TESOL, Diploma in TESOL, Advanced Certificate in TESOL, Advanced Diploma in TESOL. We also offer a Teach Business English course and a certificate in Practical Phonetics.
How it works:
Our online approach
Our courses are delivered in the form of PDF files, a universal format compatible with all PCs and Apple Mac computers. When you enrol you are provided with log-in details for one or more download areas. Access to these enables you to download your input modules, answer keys to check your self-assessed answers and your tutor-assessed worksheets. You will need to print the tutor-assessed worksheets and return those to Training Link Online by post.
Printed worksheets
Worksheets are returned by post. The reasons for this are various. Firstly, it's important to maintain a healthy degree of interactivity with your tutors. This helps to reduce the loneliness of the learner and helps establish close links with tutors. Secondly, with these substantial courses, most students would rather avoid spending all their time staring at a computer screen, but would rather mix computer use with reading and writing. Reading from paper feels more natural and comfortable. Furthermore, you won't accidentally close your work and lose all the answers you've painstakingly typed in! A third important reason for hand-written assignments is practising phonetic transcription, which is an essential part of any good TESOL training course!
