Certificate & Diploma Programs

The first step towards your Global TESOL College Certificate or Diploma starts with our Foundation course. Though this can be completed online or through correspondence we recommend the in-class course to better prepare you for the classroom.

Once you’ve finished our Foundation course, you must complete at least one of our 16 Specialization courses in order to obtain our basic certificate, the Advanced TESOL Certificate. You attain a higher Certificate or Diploma by simply competing more Specialization courses. Depending on the number of Specialization courses you complete, you can obtain one of the Certificates or Diplomas listed below.
