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]

On this scale most employers will expect their job applicants to have completed a level 4 course as this includes at least 100 hours of course study.
