This course is for practising ESOL teachers who wish to become fully qualified to work in the Lifelong learning (adult) education sector. It combines a full teaching qualification with an ESOL subject specialist qualification.

• If you have completed a CELTA (or equivalent e.g. Trinity Cert TESOL) qualification and are currently teaching ESOL, you may be interested in our CambridgeESOL Diploma in Teaching English (ESOL) in the Lifelong Learning Sector (DTE(E)LLS) which leads to fully qualified status for teaching ESOL to adults.

• If you already have an LLUK endorsed full teaching qualification, for example a PGCE or Certificate in Education, you may enrol on the Additional Diploma in Teaching English (ESOL) in the Lifelong Learning Sector (ADTE(E)LLS) – the ESOL subject specialist qualification. This is offered within the DTE(E)LLS programme and entails attendance and assessment of part of the full DTE(E)LLS course.
 

This is an in-service course. You need to be currently teaching ESOL to groups of learners in the Lifelong Learning Sector.
