CertTESOL
The Trinity Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (CertTESOL) is a TESOL or TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certificate designed for people with little or no experience of teaching English, and for those with experience who require an internationally recognised initial teacher education qualification.
Preparing for the Trinity CertTESOL English language teaching certificate equips trainees with the basic skills and knowledge needed to take up their first post as an ESOL teacher. It gives an introduction to the theory and practice of English teaching and an insight into the challenges facing the learner and the role of the teacher.
The CertTESOL is rated at Level 5 on Ofqual’s Regulated Qualifications Framework, a comparable level to the second year of an undergraduate degree, and comprises a minimum of 130 hours, with an expected minimum of 70 hours further study required (Total Qualification Time: 200 hours).

Course Content
The main course content is delivered and assessed through five units. The work for Units 1, 2, 3 and 5 is marked by your internal course tutors and moderated or sampled and checked by a member of the Trinity moderators panel at the end of every course. The moderator externally assesses the work for Unit 4. The units are:
UNIT 1
Teaching skills, assessed through:
-
tutors’ evaluation of six hours of teaching with real learners.
-
a journal including trainees’ own lesson plans, with self- and tutor-evaluation.
-
a journal covering trainees’ reflective comments following observation of four hours of ESOL teaching by experienced teachers.
UNIT 2
Language awareness including grammar and phonology, assessed through:
-
a test or practical project.
-
ongoing use of spoken and written English.
UNIT 3
Learner profile, assessed through:
-
the preparation of a simple linguistic profile and needs analysis, including some basic phonemic transcription, of a single learner.
-
the planning of, and reflection on, a one-to-one lesson.
-
the preparation of recommendations for the learner’s future language development.
UNIT 4
Materials assignment, assessed through:
-
written rationale for the development of one piece of teaching material.
-
interview with a Trinity moderator to discuss the above and the ways in which materials development is beneficial to the development of teaching skills.
UNIT 5
Unknown language, assessed through:
-
a journal covering trainees’ reflective comments on four hours’ tuition in an unknown language from the point of view of the beginner, including an analysis of the key aspects of methods and classroom management that affect the learner positively and negatively.
