"After researching various TESOL courses I decided to train with INTESOL because they ran a distance learning course that was affordable and that gave me the flexibility to complete the work over a longer period of time. My only dilemma was whether this qualification would be accepted worldwide and stand up against the well known Trinity and Cambridge TEFL certificates. Lynda Hazelwood, the Course Director at INTESOL, assured me that the qualification was accredited through the correct channels and that I shouldn't find any difficulties finding excellent contracts with the INTESOL Certificate in TESOL.
I found the course easy to follow, and if I needed help with anything I just needed to pick up the phone and ask for advice, one of the team at INTESOL would always call me back and spend as much time as I needed on the phone to go through exercises or grammar points that I was unsure of. The course materials were interesting and gave me the knowledge that I needed to begin Teaching English as a Second Language.
I qualified as an ESOL Teacher with INTESOL in 1998 and immediately found employment with a Language School in my home town of Plymouth. Since that time I've worked in numerous Language schools from Summer Schools to Business Schools Teaching English at Masters Level, including schools in foreign countries such as Thailand and France. The INTESOL Certificate in TESOL has been invaluable and has enabled me to travel and work, as well as helping me to secure employment within the National Education System in England.
Recently I called Lynda Hazelwood with a request for my course results module by module because a school that I was applying to work with was requesting them. Considering that I took the qualification over 10 years ago now, I was amazed when Lynda gave me my results immediately over the phone from her database. This is just one example of how well INTESOL is run as an organisation and how they are there to support any of their students not just when they take the qualification but throughout their Teaching Career. And . . . I got the job!
I would not hesitate in recommending the Certificate in TESOL from INTESOL to anyone who wants to enter into the field of Teaching English as a Second Language. Whether it is to teach in a foreign country or in the UK, the qualification will certainly be accepted and give you the opportunity to follow an interesting and fulfilling career."
