You may have noticed that there are other certifications, such as TEFL, CELTA, DELTA or TESL. While perhaps 1 school in 100 may require a specific certification, the vast majority are interested in your having had training, not necessarily which training you have had. So you may be wondering…why choose TESOL? First, it's useful to know what the other certificates are and what they do. TEFL (Teacher of English as a Foreign Language) is designed for teaching in a country where English is not the primary language spoken. TESL (Teacher of English as a Second Language) is meant to be for teaching in an English-speaking country. CELTA (Certificate in English Language Teaching for Adults) is, as the title implies, for teaching adult learners. DELTA (Diploma in English Language Teaching for Adults) is similar to a CELTA, but is designed for teachers who already have at least 2 years of English teaching experience under their belts and would like to further their training. TESOL (Teacher of English to Speakers of Other Languages) is designed to train you to teach anyone to speak English…any age, and anywhere. TESOL encompasses the range of the other certificates. An example: If you take the DELTA course, you complete 420 hours (including study-time) for the diploma. Our Professional TESOL Diploma is 600 hours, which includes more hours of training than the DELTA (and TESOL Training International's Professional TESOL Diploma is a fraction of the cost of the DELTA, by the way!). TESOL is the clear choice for greater flexibility in employment and range of training. So, why a TESOL Certificate from TESOL Training International? This is really simple: we offer a top-quality training program that fits YOUR schedule, and a guaranteed job placement process that results in your working abroad quickly and with ease. We don't take it lightly that you are investing your time and money with us in fulfilling your dream of traveling and teaching abroad, and our commitment to you is that we will partner with you to make your dream a reality. Training... That's the TESOL Training International difference! |
