Online TEFL / TESOL Certificate Courses
Recognized for English Teaching Jobs in Canada

TESL Canada Standard 1 & 2 / TESL Ontario CTESOL (Part 1 of OCELT)

Why Should Canadians Choose a Recognized TEFL / TESOL Certification?

Most TEFL / TESL / TESOL certification courses are only valid for gap-year teaching jobs abroad and entry-level online ESL teaching jobs. The online TEFL / TESOL certification courses offered by Coventry House International-OnTESOL are perfect for Canadians who want to further their international teaching career and have the flexibility to qualify for teaching jobs in Canada without having to take another TEFL / TESOL certificate course again!

Our online TEFL / TESOL courses have been evaluated and recognized by TESL Canada since 2003. OnTESOL is the first fully recognized online ESL teacher training institute in Canada and the first one in the world to offer graduates the option of completing a Practicum module equivalent to CELTA or Trinity CertTESOL (With feedback from a Practicum Supervisor and real ESL students in the classroom).

Our TEFL / TESOL certification courses are completely online and self-paced. Some of the unique features offered by OnTESOL include practical lab assignments, live lesson planning workshops via Zoom, textbooks, a variety of pre-recorded videos, a personal TESL Canada-approved tutor to answer your questions and provide extensive feedback on your lesson planning assignments, and lifetime job assistance in Canada and other destinations.

Leaders in online TEFL / TESOL training since 2003!

Qualify for English Teaching Jobs in Canada

TESL Canada Professional Standard 1 certification is the minimum requirement for teaching English to adults in Canada, including General English, ESL Immersion, IELTS or TOEFL Preparation Courses, and English Conversation teaching positions.

For teaching Canadian Newcomers in the government-sponsored LINC program, the minimum requirement is TESL Canada Standard 1 certification in all provinces except for Ontario, where TESL Ontario Level 2 OCELT is required. The self-paced 120-hour and the hybrid 168-hour online TEFL / TESOL certification courses offered by OnTESOL are recognized by TESL Canada (Standard 1) and TESL Ontario (CTESOL Level 1). OnTESOL graduates who wish to upgrade to TESL Ontario OCELT Level 2 can complete the second part with another organization at a later time.

Experienced ESL teachers who hold a Masters in Education or Linguistics and a minimum of TESL Canada Professional Standard 1 certification are eligible to teach English in Canadian colleges, universities, and K-12 programs, but some positions may specifically require TESL Canada Professional Standard 2 certification.

What is TESL Canada?

TESL Canada is the leading accrediting organization for Canadian TESL / TEFL / TESOL certification courses and is highly recognized worldwide. You can use your TESL Canada certification to teach English in Canada and other Native English speaking countries, teach English online, or go abroad with an internationally recognized credential.

All you need to qualify for TESL Canada certification is to have a university degree (In any area) and complete a TEFL / TESL / TESOL certification course with a recognized provider such as OnTESOL. Non-native speakers who did not complete their university degree in Canada or another native speaking country need their IELTS / TOEFL score to become eligible for TESL Canada certification.
