    The Graduate Certificate in TESOL equips the graduates with essential knowledge and skills necessary for teaching English as a Second Language. Experienced educators can undertake the program as professional development or to extend their qualifications. The program can benefit educators of other disciplines, working in culturally and linguistically diverse contexts.

    This program comprises four subjects and students engage in approximately 150 contact hours. They also complete an approximately 30-hour Practicum, during which they learn from experienced teachers and teach a minimum of six hours under their supervision.

    In Australia, the graduates teach international students in various educational institutions and language schools, depending on their prior qualifications. Internationally, they teach English in numerous countries, organisations, to students of all ages.
