Dual TESOL
​Qualifications

Certificate IV + Diploma of TESOL
Picture

Keep your options open 

Elevate your TESOL career with our integrated Certificate IV and Diploma TESOL pathway. This dual qualification program is designed to expand your employment opportunities while supporting long-term professional growth. Holding two TESOL qualifications gives you greater flexibility and helps you stay prepared for new opportunities as your career evolves.

Why do dual TESOL qualifications?

For some individuals, a single TESOL qualification is the ideal starting point for their English teaching journey. At LTi, we offer both standalone TESOL qualifications and an integrated dual qualification pathway, giving you the flexibility to choose what best suits your goals.

Here are three key reasons why you may choose to complete dual TESOL qualifications:

#1: Enhanced Career Prospects - while both qualifications prepare you to teach English, the Certificate IV in TESOL allows you to specialise through an elective unit (such as early childhood, primary, teenage learners, or technology). The Diploma of TESOL builds additional skills in coordinating and managing English programs. Together, these qualifications equip you with a broader skill set, increasing your professional versatility and employment prospects across a range of teaching and program-based roles.

#2: Get the competitive edge - elevate your resume with the distinction of holding two TESOL qualifications. This can help you stand out in competitive job markets and demonstrates a strong commitment to professional development.

#3: Efficiency and cost savings - your dual qualification pathway offers streamlined credit between the Certificate IV and Diploma, allowing you to complete your studies more efficiently. It is also a more cost-effective option, with
special offers to maximize your investment in your education.

How does it work?

Picture
You will be enrolled in two (2) qualifications through our flexible online learning platform:
  1. 11021NAT - Certificate IV in English Language Teaching (TESOL) 
  2. 11020NAT - Diploma of English Language Teaching (TESOL)

Nine (9) core units overlap between the Certificate IV and the Diploma of TESOL. With our streamlined learning pathway, credits are automatically applied to both qualifications. This means you only need to complete these units once.
Picture
After completing the first nine (9) core units, you will progress to one (1) Cert IV elective unit and five (5) specialised Diploma units. You also gain hands-on experience with 20 hours of practical placement, giving you an immersive introduction to teaching English and practical skills for the workplace. This placement can be included on your resume as voluntary work experience and offers a practical introduction to real-world teaching. 

By following this integrated approach, you’ll develop both foundational and advanced TESOL skills in an efficient, well-structured pathway that supports confident, job-ready teaching.
