How it Works
Asynchronous Option:
The 250-hour TESOL Diploma program is a self-paced, asynchronous online TESOL course. Study at your own pace during the 8-month deadline.
A personal tutor will be assigned to answer your questions, correct your assignments, and provide you with valuable feedback. The TESOL certificate will be issued on completion of all exams and assignments.
Semi-asynchronous Option:
The semi-asynchronous option allows you to progress through the TESOL Diploma at your own pace and schedule the next available live workshop when you reach the methodology chapter covered in the session.
Add the live 10-hour Lesson Planning Workshop to your online TESOL course for a more interactive learning experience. The 10-hour workshop consists of a series of 4 live sessions dedicated to the most important lab assignments in the methodology module. Attendance to the live workshops is not mandatory to complete the TESOL Diploma program.
