About Our Courses:

Photo of TEFL / TESOL Courses in Edinburgh, ScotlandYou want to travel? You want to earn as you travel? ...then you want to teach English as a foreign language. Employers will accept your TEFL certificate on a "no quibble" basis.

This is not a weekend or taster course so you will actually be qualified at the end of your course and you will have the necessary skills and confidence to begin teaching English immediately.

Accommodation Options:
We do not guarantee to find you accommodation but we will help where possible to find you something suitable near the school.

It is very difficult in the Summer time to find accommodation in Edinburgh so if you are doing a course at this time of year it's a good idea to book some thing early.

Why choose the Trinity course over the CELTA?
Both Certificates offer a valid teaching qualification but the courses are different. 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.
