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.

When you study with us, you'll be taught by trainers who have personal experience with the world of TESOL and who can effectively share their knowledge out of real, personal passion and experience.

When you start your TESOL Course with us, ask your Trainer why they started teaching English - the answer might surprise and inspire you!
