TESOL/TKT Diploma Program
Our TESOL Diploma program is designed with a similar curriculum as the TESL Diploma. However, this program is taught at a pace that is more comfortable to those whose native language is not English, or for those who have not studied in great length.
Much like the TESL program, the TESOL is also a very demanding program requiring that students commit a large portion of outside time to their homework and assignments. The duration of the course is longer and the modules of the program cover teaching and English skills at the same time.
This course is intended for native English speakers without a post secondary education who wish to teach English overseas, or non-native speakers with a desire to teach English in their home country.
This program is used to teach English overseas only.
In addition to receiving a TESOL Diploma from International House, graduates will also be prepared to take the Teaching Knowledge Test from the University of Cambridge. This exam tests you on the core teaching knowledge to teach varying age levels and proficiency levels. By having this exam score, you will become more marketable.
