Online TEFL Diploma Course Aims
Our Online TEFL Diploma course will give you a grasp of a wide range of teaching topics from material design to learning theories.
The research oriented element of the course can be completed with internet resources, though you may have to sometimes use additional reference works.
As you work through the course, your writing and research skills will improve. You will also develop a range of skills such as question development and essay structure that can be transferred to your professional endeavors.
Assessment without Tutor Support
This option follows the same format as the course with tutor with the following exception: You will still receive the task sheet with each module, but will not submit them to a tutor. You can use them to monitor your own progress. The course is divided into two sections. Once you have completed the sixth module, you can download the test for that section. After successfully taking the test, you repeat the process for modules 7 - 11 and again take a test for the second section. A research thesis is required, just as in the "with tutor" option.
