International Recognition

The TEFL job market is undoubtedly becoming increasingly competitive. Not too long ago, any native English speaker looking for a life of travel could pursue a successful career as an "English Teacher" without experience or qualifications. However, these days all reputable language schools and employers throughout the world require teachers with a professionally recognised initial TEFL qualification.

A wide range of TEFL courses have been developed to provide this initial teacher training in many countries of the world which makes it very difficult for aspiring teachers to decide which course to chose. The prerequisite for this decision making should be the certainty that the course chosen is of a standard recognised by those bodies within the industry which designate what constitutes professional status. In this respect, the British Council and the UK government’s Qualifications and Curriculums Authority (QCA) have both recognised the Trinity CertTESOL as Level 4 of the National Qualifications Framework and therefore a fully professional initial qualification.

Trinity College London’s training qualifications in the teaching of English to speakers of other languages (TESOL) have been established for three decades. Trinity validates or approves over 110 training institutions in all sectors, private and state, in the UK and overseas, to run CertTESOL courses. Presently, LSI Berlin is the only Germany based academy offering CertTESOL every month.

The three main advantages of choosing a Trinity CertTESOL course are:

• A consistently high level of quality control
  
• The Trinity CertTESOL is recognised internationally by employers ensuring you have a competitive edge in the market
  
• Trinity CertTESOL could mean higher starting salaries
