Welcome to the Professional Certificate in TESOL!

The Professional Certificate  in TESOL is aimed at experienced TESOL teachers.

Students will see a difference in how they approach their teaching and in the value they give to their students. 

Through the programme students will develop best practice through engagement with state-of-the art research and acquire a familiarity with technological advances related to the field. 

The modules will take place over 6 weeks in the Summer term. To receive the  Professional Cert in TESOL students will have to complete 15 credits over three modules.
