TESOL Core Certificate Program (TCCP)

Set yourself apart and teach almost anywhere in the world with a certificate from TESOL International Association, the globally recognized and trusted provider of professional learning in English language teaching (ELT). The TESOL Core Certificate Program (TCCP) is aligned to TESOL’s Standards for Short-Term TEFL/TESL Certificate Programs and was developed by experts in the TESOL field. Gain foundational knowledge in ELT theory and practice, focus your skills on teaching adult or young learners, and apply what you’ve learned through an in-person or virtual teaching practicum. The TESOL Core Certificate Program (TCCP) is a 140-hour blended-learning program, meaning that a portion of the program is completed online and a portion of the program is completed in person. The 140 hours of required course work and practicum components can be completed in 6 to 11 months. Online courses in Part 1 and 2 of the program are asynchronous, meaning there are no live events and you can log in at any time. A minimum of 10 hours per week should be devoted to the online course work, although students are expected to log into the course at least every week, if not daily. The online courses in Part 1 and 2 are graded on a pass (80% or greater)/fail (less than 80%) basis.
