Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

WHAT CAREER OPTIONS ARE THERE AFTER DOING A TESOL COURSE?

The course is specifically designed to train you to be employment ready as an English Language Teacher. The types of English teaching positions open to you will depend on several factors, including:

Institution type: whether you're aiming for teaching in universities or online platforms, the level of an education institution can impact the minimum qualification required (e.g. universities, English language centers, primary or high schools, online platforms, one-on-one tutoring, etc)
Location: Specific countries or regions have varying requirements, rules or preferences for English teachers, including visas. Sometimes, employers assist with visa applications if needed.
English level: from conversational English to academic English - the level of English being taught will define your role requirements.
Existing qualifications and experience: your existing qualifications and experience can play a big role in securing your desired job. Generally speaking, any qualifications (e.g. a degree in any field) or experience will boost your chances of landing your dream job.

These elements come together to craft your unique employment opportunities after completing a TESOL Course.

Since the world of English teaching is widely diverse, we encourage you to research the requirements for the countries and jobs that interest you. Conducting a job search is the best way to discover your options. So go on, your dream job awaits!

CAN I COMPLETE THE COURSE QUICKLY?

Yes, you can work through the course at your own pace. It comes down to how quickly you work through the course assessment and complete it to a satisfactory standard.

The time it takes to complete depends on:

your English language knowledge and competence
your motivation to finish the Course quickly
your desire to do extra study and research along the way
how much time you spend studying each week
your past experience with any kind of teaching or learning
other personal factors such as health, family, financial and employment circumstances

To help you along the way, there are pre-recorded training videos available 24 / 7, along with textbook content and additional learning resources. You also get allocated a distance Trainer who you can contact for support via phone, email or schedule a video call.

The pace at which you work through the course content and assessment is up to you. You need to be assessed as competent in all of the assessment tasks (including practical placement) in order to be awarded your qualification.

You will be given opportunities to resubmit your assessment if it is not to a satisfactory standard. Your Trainer will also provide you with specific feedback on the areas that you need to improve.

WHICH TESOL COURSE LEVEL IS BEST FOR ME?

LTi offers six levels of TESOL courses in English Language Teaching, available globally through online learning, with some in-person training opportunities at select locations.

Before deciding which level is best for you, it is a good idea to consider what you ideally want to do once you finish your course, as this will affect which course is the right fit.

A quick 1 minute read overview is below.

Preparatory TESOL Certificate is a fast-track, theory only program which consists of 8 self-paced theory modules, ranging from cultural sensitivity in the classroom to specialised techniques for teaching English online.

International TESOL Certificate is for those wanting entry level English teaching skills with 9 hours of placement, without the red-tape associated with Australian government accreditation. We can offer this training program for a very low price because it doesn't have the accreditation costs, but it still provides the foundational, essential skills needed to teach English.

Certificate IV in English Language Teaching (TESOL) is an Australian Accredited qualification (Course code 11021NAT) and is for those wanting general English teaching skills. It includes one elective unit and 12 hours of practical placement. It is one of the most popular qualifications globally and provides a solid base for someone wanting to teach English in a variety of situations.

Diploma of English Language Teaching (TESOL) is close to the Cert IV in terms of popularity, but it covers a lot more. It's for those wanting English teaching skills PLUS program design and coordination skills. It's also an Australian Accredited qualification (Course code 11020NAT) and includes 20 hours of practical placement. It's the qualification that people choose when they want to maximise their employment opportunities and responsibilities (e.g. be employed in a role requiring English program design). It's a big qualification to take on, but you will also get a lot out of it.

Graduate Certificate in English Language Teaching (TESOL) is for people who are wanting to further their career by completing a post graduate qualification. It is open to those who have already completed a degree or have significant industry experience in combination with a lower level qualification. It includes 60 hours of practical placement, taking place over at least 22 days to meet AMEP practical placement requirements.

Graduate Diploma of English Language Teaching (TESOL) is the highest level of TESOL qualification that we offer. It is for people who need a comprehensive, post graduate qualification and multiple specialisation areas. It is open to those who have already completed a degree or have significant industry experience in combination with a lower level qualification. It includes 80 hours of practical placement, taking place over at least 22 days to meet AMEP practical placement requirements.

HOW DOES ONLINE LEARNING WORK?
