How does online study work?

The online TESOL course is fully self-paced, so you can study from anywhere at anytime. Diploma students can choose to be enrolled as a full-time student with up to 18 months to complete or part-time with up to 24 months to complete. It's up to you if you want to complete the Course in a shorter timeframe, it all depends on how quickly you want to work through the Course.

Our TESOL Online Student System (TOSS) is available 24/7 with a large number of video tutorials to help you complete the course. The course assessment is structured by a series of guided tasks ranging from short, multiple choice answer questions right up to larger projects, where you get to plan and teach your own lessons.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) 

Do you guarentee a job at the end?
No, but 83% of our graduates are employed or enrolled in further study (e.g. university) after training.
*Based on 2020 independent National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER) data

Be careful with providers who claim to give you a job at the end - will they actually deliver or are they just trying to lure you in? Is it actually a job or just an interview? If it is a job, ask a lot about what sort of job it is, where it is and what payment you will get (and whether it is even enough to cover living costs in that country). Is it actually a job that you would want or is it a job that is difficult to fill with low pay and an undesirable location?

We focus on offering you a great course which is backed by our long standing, strong reputation in the TESOL industry. We make sure that when our graduates finish the course, they are employment ready and fully equipped to confidently enter classrooms around the world (or online) to teach English.
Can I do the Course 100% Online?
Yes! We even have online practical placements available with ESL learners who attend virtual classes (via video conferencing). ​
Can I Do my Prac Overseas?
Yes, If you find a suitable placement with an overseas institution (or are going to one of our class locations) then you can do your placement overseas. 

If you choose to source your own placement organisation overseas, you will need to make sure there is:
  • An experienced ESL teacher for you to observe (or you could do you observations online)
  • A minimum of 5 genuine ESL learners in the class 
  • A qualified person to observe your teaching or permission to video yourself teaching the class
HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO COMPLETE THE COURSE?
You can either be enrolled as a full-time student with 18 months to complete the course or a part-time student with 24 months to complete the course. Learn more about timeframes & assessment...
THERE SEEM TO BE SOOO MANY TESOL COURSES OUT THERE - HOW DO I CHOOSE? ​​
Go with your gut - if you want to do a course that will be worth something when you finish and avoid ending up with 'just a piece of paper', there are a few questions you need to think about before choosing:
  • What level is the Course? Is it the right level for what I want to do?
  • Is the course accredited (endorsed by the Australian Government)? Is that important for what I want to do?
  • Is the Course worth something overseas? 
  • Will the course meet the TESOL qualification requirements for English as a Second Language (ESL) teachers in Australia? 
  • Is the course delivered by a reputable registered training organisation? Or is it just a third party looking to get sign-ups?
​
What to check when comparing TESOL Courses: 
  • Beware of providers that claim they offer "Internationally accredited courses". There is no international body that accredits courses. Ask who the Course is accredited by. Has the Course got Government accreditation? If no, think twice. Read more about International Standards →
  • ​​Be careful! A cheap course may not always be the right choice for what you want to do.
  • Add up the costs - some courses advertise a low fee, but then hit you with enrolment fees, practical placement fees, resource fees etc. and it ends up more expensive in the end.
  • Beware of providers who claim to give you a job at the end - will they actually deliver or are they just trying to lure you in? Is it actually a job or just an interview? If it is a job, ask a lot about what sort of job it is, where it is and what payment you will get (and whether it is even enough to cover living costs in that country). Is it actually a job that you would want or is it a job that is difficult to fill with low pay and an undesirable location?

To save you some time, here are the answers to those questions about us and our courses:
  • We offer both non-accredited and accredited TESOL Courses - the International TESOL Certificate is a non-accredited specialised training program for those who don't require an accredited one, but want a high quality course at a very affordable price.
  • The accredited courses we offer are the 10695NAT - Certificate IV in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) and 10688NAT - Diploma of TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) and these courses can be verified on the Australian Government's Website training.gov.au
  • We are an Australian Registered Training Organisation, RTO Number: 30173 - see http://training.gov.au/Organisation/Details/30173 - this means we undergo strict monitoring by the Australian government. It also gives us recognition overseas as being a quality training provider.
  • Our online TESOL courses consist of more than the equivalent of 100 hours of face to face contact. This is achieved for every student that completes any LTi TESOL course (of  any delivery format) through the provision and requirements of the course materials which have been developed and designed for Distance Education in conjunction with the web based support LTi provides. 
  •  We require all our students to complete practical placement with supervised practice teaching of real English as a Second Language students in an actual classroom.​
