250 Hours TEFL/TESOL Advanced Diploma Program
TEFL or TESOL trains the teachers to teach students who are non-native English speakers. A certified TEFL/TESOL teacher will be able to teach immigrants, students studying in a foreign country where English is the second language, or people who have to converse in English for work purposes. TEFL/TESOL grants exposure on how to teach grammar skills, language systems and lesson planning. The course is best suited for educators who wish to teach abroad.
TEFL/TESOL is different from just teaching the English language because it is geared towards training the educators on teaching methodologies and how to teach students of various levels. TEFL/TESOL also enables the educators to teach students of all age groups.
An Advanced Diploma level TEFL/TESOL candidate will get access to a senior mentor who has 35 years+ experience in the field of ESL. In addition to that, the candidates will be trained in the strategies of education management and administration.

Methodology
At London College of Teachers and Trainers, we follow the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) approach where we encourage our students to communicate and practice in the target language.
Teaching Practice
Teaching Practice (TP) is extremely helpful for candidates who have not had any experience with teaching before. Even though TP is optional, the candidates are advised to seek out opportunities in their vicinities or preferred area where they can practice teaching their target students. This will not only help them gain valuable practical experience, but also give them a chance to demonstrate what they have learned during their program with us.
We will provide the candidates interested in doing a TP with a letter of recommendation for the internship at their choice of school/institution.

What our Students Say
The modules were simple to understand and very informative. The support staff were always on time to over guidance regarding the course and the college. The assignments were given on time and response was very good. I would recommend this school for anyone aspiring to be a teacher in any area.
Mary Maina Nairobi, KenyaWhen I was looking forward to upgrade my skills, I come across LCTT. Manisha has promptly responded and suggested the best course for me. PG Diploma in SEN Teacher's Training. Tutor Support from Sudipta Ma'am and Senior Mentor Arpita Ma'am, were very encouraging and clarified any doubts and given very constructive feedback. I have already recommended my juniors and friends to take up relevant courses offered by LCTT. I am very happy with the learning experience from LCTT.
Lucy Yashoda Guntur, IndiaI was looking online at different recruiters and saw Korvia suggested LCTT for the certificate. After checking them out, I found that the prices were reasonable and that they even had a summer sale going that I was able to take advantage of. The course was quick and efficient so that it was easy to focus on exactly what they wanted me to get from each module.
Nikki Hutchison Lawrence, United StatesMy experience with this company was good overall! They will quickly give me feedback on my assignments and answer any questions that I had. Super helpful that I can download the course material for future use and the videos were helpful.
Bianca J Melendez Lopes Florida, United StatesI took this TEFL course with the intent to someday teach in South Korea but J also found it to be helpful for my own language learning as well as my future plans to be an university professor. I did find the grammar terminology to be specific to this course though, which was a little odd.

Sanam Tahir Atlanta, USAThe information provided was thorough and easy to read and understand. The quizzes were useful to see if you had gained the required knowledge for each module. I definitely feel better prepared although perhaps a few more examples could be useful, e.g. a completed lesson plan.
Grace Christie Buckingham, EnglandI had a great experience with the course and learned a great deal. The course material was clear and concise as well as informative. The questions on the test were relevant to the material and what I needed to learn also. Thank you.
