Details
This course, approved by New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA), is more suitable to non-native speakers whose English language level is not up to the advanced level necessary to pass the Trinity standard. Both Certificate courses share most of the
input lessons, but the Assignment requirement and Teaching Practices are different.
Outline
If a teacher wants to work in a New Zealand language school, or in a quality school overseas, they need a recognised qualification. Trinity College London Cert TESOL is an internationally recognised qualification. In New Zealand and overseas, the
Trinity TESOL Cert. is one of only two industry accepted entry qualifications.Although not internationally recognised as Trinity is, it is still very acceptable in many countries. It is NZAQ-approved and meets the quality standard required.

What is the Entry Requirement to apply for this course?
Applicants need a strong level of English ability and a good level of fluency especially in spoken communication. Candidates are required to have an interview with a course Tutor, and complete a pre-interview test prior to the interview. They do a controlled
English task during the pre-course interview, prior to meeting with one of our course tutors. An IELTS score or an IELTS level entry test result may be required for non-native English speakers. Other qualifying studies, or work experience will be considered
in the decision. However, final assessment is made by the Head Trainer. Telephone interviews are possible if applicants are overseas at the time of enrolment. The interviewing Tutor is careful to ensure that all Trainees selected are capable. Entry decisions
are at the discretion of the Course Director.
After the acceptance interview, an Applicant will be informed immediately of the result. EDENZ prides itself on a pass rate averaging 96% per annum and so you can be sure that if you are accepted, we are confident you can succeed.

- Preparation
Trainees are required to complete the pre-course preparation task, the ‘Distance Learning Module (DLM) prior to the course start. Our DLM ensures all trainees have some understanding of grammar and parts of speech before the course so everyone starts the course with the same base knowledge. Trainees can complete the DLM either in New Zealand or overseas. Tutors are available for email, telephone or face-to-face consultation on this portion of the course.
- Input sessions
These include lesson observation, teaching approaches, methodology, principles of and practice in teaching grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, error correction and teaching skills. Trainees are taught how to use resources such as textbooks, supplementary materials and audio visual aids. Also lesson preparation, teaching practice in front of live classes and feedback constitute the practical component of the course. There are 3 hours of classroom Teaching Practice observed by the trainers.
- Assignments
Trainees are required to complete several written assignments in addition to the teaching and classroom management training. Tutors are available during the first six weeks for discussion on any problem areas with the exercises. They will also complete an exercise based on set course texts "How to Teach English" (by Jeremy Harmer) and ‘Oxford Practice Grammar’.
- How long does this course take?
This Certificate course is 160 hours of inputs and lectures plus tutorials and mentoring, and additional assignments to total the 400 hours to learning required for an NZQA approved Certificate.
