Full-time TESL (4 Weeks)
The full-time TESL Diploma Program is a very intense 4 week program! We recommend that students who enroll in this program do not have any other work or personal commitments. There is quite a lot of outside work that needs to be completed in order to be successful in the program.
The course is designed with a balance between practical and theoretical learning. Students will receive a great amount of teaching practice during the program and will be able to observe our ESL classes during the day.
