Edinburgh TEFL / TESOL Certificate Courses

Tli School Of English Edinburgh:
TLI is one of the longest established providers of Trinity College TESOL certification in Europe. Our Teaching English as a Foreign Language courses include Edinburgh, Scotland and Pontevedra, Spain. We feel that the main advantage of the Trinity Certificate is that it covers all levels of teaching. When you are here you will be required to do teaching practice with adults, young children and teenagers with different standards of English. It is this practical experience at different levels which we feel makes the Trinity Course prepare you for teaching more effectively.

Trinity College London CertTESOL
We offer 4 week intensive courses leading to the award of the Trinity College London CertTESOL. The Trinity College London CertTESOL is a preliminary TEFL qualification which is recognised globally and fully accredited by the British Council. When you are here you will learn how to teach English to speakers of other languages. Naturally this will involve learning about the different methodologies involved in teaching EFL / ESL but you will also learn about grammar, phonetics and a range of issues surrounding the EFL industry.

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.


Trinity College London Diploma in TESOL
The Diploma in TESOL may be completed in one of three ways: Distance Learning, Part time - Duration is 36 weeks, Full time - Duration is 12 weeks. If you are already an experienced teacher, have an existing teaching certificate or want to gain a high level qualification that enables you to teach at University level then the Trinity Diploma is a very good option.
