Via Lingua Tesol Certificate

  Whichever TESOL course you choose, your certificate will be sent to your chosen address via registered post as soon as you complete all the required tasks. However, it is very hard to say exactly how long the certificate will take to arrive as individual postal systems vary considerably. In most cases this should not be an issue, but if you would rather not wait it is possible to arrange an express delivery option via DHL that will get your certificate to you much quicker. As this is an optional service, it does include a small extra charge. For the majority of graduates this option will not be necessary. However, if you are in a real hurry to land a job and need to prove you are TESOL certified to potential employers or government offices, it might be a small price to pay to get...  [Read more]

In this sense, a TESOL is most certainly a teaching certificate. There are generally three standard ways to obtain a TESOL certification: In-class courses, online courses, and combined (hybrid) courses.

A quick Google search will reveal that a level 3 course can be purchased at a very cheap price and it can be completed in a relatively short space of time. However, this level of study may not be good enough to satisfy the expectations of many employers. At the other end of the scale you will come across a Master’s in TESOL which would clearly be a great qualification to have. On the downside, this level of study can take several years to complete and will require a high level of effort and financial input. Clearly a middle ground is the best place to start for many potential teachers who...  [Read more]
