ESL Teacher Training - Online TESL Certification Programs

ICAL:
ICAL was one of the very first schools offering online teacher training way back in 1998. It was formed by a group of teacher trainers based in the USA, the UK and Australia. Making use of powerful new internet technologies and employing only the best to both create and tutor our programs, we soon became the largest online provider with our courses being taken right across the world.
