Online / Distance Learning
|
Enroll anytime and study from anywhere in the world. Complete the TESOL Certificate IV or Diploma online at your own pace with the support of a qualified distance trainer to guide you through your studies.
Students are provided with around 700 pages of course materials (in print or on-line) especially written for the LTi TESOL course. Assessment work is submitted via the LTi TESOL On-line Student System (TOSS). Practice Teaching is a vital part of doing our TESOL Courses and we provide you with a 150 page Practice Teaching Guide which includes all the paperwork you will need to complete your Prac in a meaningful and professional manner. A good prac experience also looks great on your resume and can position you even better to get that job of your dreams. Read below for more information about the Practice Teaching part of doing our Course online and by Distance Education. |

Course Duration & Study Hours
There is no set schedule for distance learning and the time it takes a student to complete the Course will depend on such factors as:
Certificate IV within 4 to 6 weeks. Other students have worked hard to get it done in 3 to 6 months and still others have taken 6 to 9 months, or a year or two.
Unless otherwise stated in any specific Course information, LTi allows students the following maximum time to complete the Courses:
Full Time vs Part Time
Students can choose to be "Full Time" or "Part Time". However, there is no additional fee for changing from Full Time to Part Time. Also, a Part Time student may finish the Course as quickly as a Full Time student.
Based on the official hours allocated to these Australian Government accredited courses, the following times apply. Please note that students may complete the Courses in more or less time due to their ability, motivation and many other considerations (as outlined above):
10695NAT - Certificate IV in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages)
Full-time: 12 months allowing 12-15 hours per week
Part-time: 24 months allowing 6-8 hours per week

Practical Placement
To give you a hands-on, real experience, students are also required to complete practical placement (observation & practice teaching) in an English as a Second Language (ESL) class :
LTi will work together with Distance Students to find a placement organisation: LTi may know of institutions that have previously hosted LTi students which are close by, or which the Distance Student is willing to travel to. On the other hand, the Distance Student may know of institutions that they can approach themselves.
If an organisation or Practice Teaching supervisor requires payment for taking a TESOL student for Practice Teaching, LTi will consider making the payment for the Distance Student (providing the payment being asked for is considered reasonable by LTi).
- CERT IV - 12 hours of practical placement with a minimum of 6 hours practice teaching
- DIPLOMA - 20 hours of practical placement with a minimum of 10 hours practice teaching

LTi has some fixed arrangements with Practice Teaching Host Institutions within Australia and around the world. Some of these "Prac Locations" are identified on this website where we list "Locations" for both:
The cost of doing the Course by Distance Education with Practice Teaching at these special "Prac Locations" may vary from our "standard" fees.
