TESOL certificate program
This course provides you with valuable, practical experience-based training in teaching English as a Second Language (ESL). When you graduate from our course, you will have earned a TESOL certificate that will put you in demand as a qualified English teacher.  The course is designed for teachers and prospective teachers whose first language is English or who are proficient in the language.

A TESOL Certificate is a standard in ESL teaching. Our course has been recognized by schools around the world since 1998 (and complimented by at least one department of education). When they accept a Sunbridge graduate, a school can be confident that it has hired a professionally trained teacher.

Want to travel and teach in Asia?  We'll show you how to get there! Japan, Korea, Thailand, Taiwan and mainland China need THOUSANDS of English teachers RIGHT NOW!  The Asian School year starts from March to June, depending on the country.

SCHOOLS ARE HIRING NOW!!!

Qualifications for ESL teachers
In most nations where ESL teachers are desperately needed, all that is usually required is a Bachelor's Degree, a TESOL certificate, a good command of English and a desire to teach.  If you are hired from Canada, USA, United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, etc., schools will usually arrange necessary visas, work permits, housing, and will often even pay for your flight!

You can sometimes get hired without a bachelor's degree but the better education you have, the more doors to an overseas teaching position that will open for you. Contact us if you don't have a degree but would still like to take our course. We are here to help you to accomplish your goals of finding a teaching position overseas - not to turn you away!

If I have a degree, do I need TESOL Certification?


YES you do! Whether or not you have a BA, BSc, B Ed, or other undergraduate degree, more and more overseas schools are now asking for an ESL qualification. You will see ads asking for TESOL, TEFL, TESL, or CELTA. CELTA is a British qualification and stands for Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults but our TESOL course is for teaching all age levels and thus is much broader in scope. Since most new teachers start off teaching in regular schools, it is important that the methologies they learn are applicable to all ages.

"Dear Dr. Taylor:

Let me thank you again for an interesting course. It covered a lot of ground but was easy to understand. I use the methodologies from the course that will help fill my objectives for a particular class. I feel that I have benefited from taking this course.

I am looking forward to receiving my certificate. Most schools here in China are only hiring teachers who have completed some sort of training course.

I will certainly recommend the Sunbridge course to any colleagues who are interested in improving their professional skills.

Regards,
Allen D, Xiamen , China"

The TESOL Course text is divided into four parts and 36 lessons.
