Overview
The Graduate Certificate in TESOL has been extensively reviewed and revised for 2007. The revised Graduate Certificate in TESOL will provide graduates with high quality TESOL teacher education and a formal qualification recognised by all major local and international providers.
Continuing students completing the GCertTESOL should consult the Program co-ordinator for advice regarding their 2007 enrolment.
The GCertTESOL can also be completed by distance education, using online delivery technologies.
Entry Requirements
Entry is available to candidates who satisfy the University's entry requirements for Graduate Certificates (i.e. a three-year degree or equivalent). It is expected that candidates have some teaching experience or qualification. Those with no teaching experience should apply for the Graduate Diploma.
Advanced Standing
Students who wish to continue onto the MEd program can transfer up to 12 credit points for subjects completed in a Graduate Certificate program, as not all GCertTESOL subjects are part of the MEd program.

Subjects are chosen from the list below to complete 24 credit points.
