Trinity College London CertTESOL: claims vs. register
How to read this page: the left column is what the provider says about itself. The right column is what an official register showed when we checked. We do not rate providers. A course not appearing on a register is not, by itself, evidence of anything - many courses are never submitted for regulation.
What the provider says
- Describes CertTESOL as an internationally recognised initial TESOL qualification for people with little or no teaching experience.
- States it is Level 5 on Ofqual's Regulated Qualifications Framework, with 200 hours total qualification time and at least 130 guided learning hours.
