TESOL IS OUR PASSION
Almost 30 years ago, LTi became the first organisation in Australia to create an Australian Government accredited Certificate IV in TESOL. Our commitment to remaining at the forefront of the TESOL industry has come out of the many professionals connected with LTi's ongoing development. Thousands of students have now completed LTI's TESOL Courses and gone on to have their own stories about teaching English both in Australia and overseas.
