Athena Teacher Training is a provider of the Trinity College London TESOL qualifications that qualify you to Teach English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL).
We provide Trinity CertTESOL and DipTESOL courses. These qualifications are recognised internationally by the British Council and allow you to work in their accredited schools both in the UK and abroad and are usually a requirement to teach English in language schools around the world.
The next scheduled course is planned for a start date of 19th October and it should run for 6 weeks (asynchronous training: online / distance learning), with 2 further weeks of in-person training and teaching practice to follow on.
Coordinated by Course Leader and Senior Teacher / Teacher Trainer, Christine Le Poidevin, and co-taught by teacher trainer Debbie Wilson, the course leads to the Trinity College Cert TESOL qualification. (Coupled with a degree, that qualification permits the holder to work in a British Council-accredited language school in the UK and many language schools and colleges overseas.
