Ontesol was developed by Coventry House International in Toronto, the only school in North America that offers Trinity CertTESOL courses, to provide students with the flexibility of taking an internationally-recognized TESOL / TEFL course online. Our mission is to provide teachers with the latest innovative approaches, techniques, strategies, and classroom procedures in order to foster their professional development.

Online TEFL / TESOL Courses:


- 100-hour online TESOL certificate course: 

A 100-hour certificate is considered as the international standard for TESOL/TEFL certification. Depending on the pace you work at and the amount of study time available to you, a 100-hour Certificate program may take between 3 and 11 weeks to complete. The maximum time given to complete this course is 3 months.

- 250-hour online TESOL diploma course:
Ontesol's 250-hour online course with optional Practicum is an extended version of Coventry House International's on-site Trinity CertTESOL and TESL Canada course! You can obtain all the benefits of an advanced on-site TESOL course from the comfort of your home and choose to take the teaching practice module anywhere in the world.

Since no two people work at the same pace, or have identical commitments and study time, this program may take from 8 to 24 weeks to complete.  

- 60-hour online TEYL Certificate (Teaching English to Young Learners):
The Ontesol TEYL Certificate course (Teaching English to Young Learners) has been carefully developed to address the needs of young learners. This is a 60-hour online course which must be completed in a period of 8 weeks.

- 20 hour practicum (English teaching practice) that can be completed at the student's location:
This is optional but must be completed by students who want TESL Canada certification.

Accreditation:

Ontesol's courses have been evaluated and accredited by two separate, independent accrediting bodies:

- The UK-based Accreditation Council for TESOL Distance Education Courses (ACTDEC) is a non-profit making independent body responsible for maintaining professional standards in TESOL distance programmes. 

- TESL Canada promotes excellence in the teaching and learning of English as a Second Language across Canada by promoting professional certification standards that are recognized in all provinces.

Our 100-hour online TESOL Certificate is recognized by ACTDEC UK Level 1, and our 250-hour online TESOL Diploma is recognized by TESL Canada Professional Standard 2 and ACTDEC UK Level 3.

Student Testimonials:

"I was very pleased with the whole experience. The grammar and phonology modules were great in-depth reviews. The methodology module was an excellent step-by-step guide of how to plan a lesson. I have a better understanding of how students learn and feel much better prepared  now to teach a class. My tutor, Aaron Marques, gave very insightful comments from his personal teaching experience. He was a great tutor, always responded quickly and like I said, gave very insightful comments and was always very encouraging. He really made the program!"
- Monika Robertson. United States. Completed 100-hour TESOL Certificate

"I live in a rural area, and knew that unless I wanted to drive more that 100 miles to the closest city to gain my TESOL certificate, online was a better choice. However, I was overwhelmed by the numerous online sites that offered TESOL certificates. So I spent weeks searching and doing research to find the best online training program. ONTESOL was the best choice by far based on price, curriculum, professional assistants and tutors, and most importantly -internationally recognized accreditation! I thank ONTESOL for giving me peace-of-mind knowing I am well prepared with my TESOL and TEYL certificate!"
- Joseph Davis. United States. Completed 100-hour TESOL and 60-hour TEYL .
