Off-shore International Students:
Why is there a fee for extending?
When you're actively enrolled with us, it's like occupying a seat in a virtual classroom. There are costs associated with having active students, including employing our great Trainers, who can only look after a limited number of students at one time.

Transition to new TESOL qualifications
|
In July 2022, the TESOL Courses were reaccredited by the Australian Government. This means that a new version of the courses were released. While the TESOL courses remain largely the same, the key changes between your current course and the new version is:
All other aspects of the qualification, including practical placement, remain the same. You can read the full course information by clicking below:
- The course code and name have changed to 11021NAT - Certificate IV in English Language Teaching (TESOL) and 11020NAT - Diploma of English Language Teaching (TESOL). The qualification name change is in response to the Australian legislation, as well as the global English teaching industry. The acronym 'TESOL' is more commonly used in Australia and less commonly used in other parts of the world. The new name simplifies the core purpose and essence of the qualification.
- The new Cert IV qualification now covers using technology to teach English as a core unit (rather than elective). This is because using technology is fastly becoming an essential skill for all English teachers, even for those delivering in person training.
