Teacher Training

We offer a range of courses for new and experienced teachers of English as a Foreign Language (TEFL), also known as English for Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL).

If you are new to English language teaching, our Trinity CertTESOL course will prepare you to teach anywhere in the world. You can do the course fully online or face-to-face. You will gain a globally recognised teaching qualification and gain the confidence and knowledge to work independently and impress employers and students alike.

If you are an experienced teacher wishing to develop your career, we have several options.

If you already have a CertTESOL or CELTA and at least 6 months’ experience, you might want to consider upgrading your qualifications with our fully online Trinity Certificate for Practising Teachers (Level 6 on the Regulated Qualifications Framework). This gives you the option of specialising in a high-demand area such as Teaching Medical English, Teaching Business English or Teaching Academic English, and will give you a competitive edge in the current job market.

We also offer shorter courses for practising teachers. The Communicative Methodology Refresher course will help you refresh your classroom practice and keep up to date with the latest developments in methodology. If you want to explore methodology at a deeper level, the CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) for Teachers course will give you the theoretical knowledge and practical experience to teach other subjects such as science or history through English, an approach that is proven to be effective at raising levels of both English language and subject knowledge.
