Why certification is important for practising English teachers
If you are a practising English teacher, then you might be wondering, “Why do I need the Trinity CertTESOL certificate?” This is a common question we get, especially from individuals who are currently working as English teachers.
However, the language education landscape is changing. Gone are the days when being a native English speaker was enough to get you a job as an English teacher in language schools around the world. Many countries now require English teachers to have official TEFL certification from prestigious and well-established training institutions. The Trinity College London certificate in TESOL is one of the top two in the world. After all, it is accepted and recognised by the British Council, which works in over 100 countries around the world.
Because it is so widely accepted, practising teachers who have a Trinity CertTESOL have job security, since they can use their certification to work anywhere. It gives them a competitive edge and makes them valuable no matter where in the world they decide to teach.
Besides the international acceptance of the Trinity CertTESOL, it also helps practising English teachers advance in their careers. The EBC Trinity CertTESOL course focuses on practical TEFL skills, equipping teacher trainees with the necessary methods and techniques to be effective at teaching English.
Because of this, the certificate paves the way for English teachers to advance in their careers and get promoted. It can even make them eligible for specialised programmes for teaching.
So if you want to secure your job and advance in your career, enrol in the EBC Trinity CertTESOL course today!
Practising English teachers: Teach English in Ireland
In all our years of running the EBC Trinity CertTESOL course, one of the main types of teacher trainees that we get are practising teachers who need an official TEFL certificate to carry on teaching or to get a promotion.
Take Kristina, one of our graduates from Croatia, for example. Having studied the English language, literature, and sociology as well as having earned a Master’s in Education, she was a practising teacher for some time.
“I was teaching for about two, three years in a primary school and I did business English classes as well for about three years,” she told us. “And then I moved to Ireland. I wanted to improve my English. I just kind of moved to Ireland and I became a full-time volunteer in a homeless hostel. And I thought I was gonna do that for a year, go back and, you know, resume my teaching career. (But) I stayed, so that was about 15 years ago. And ever since I kind of worked in this homeless sector.”
Practising English teachers need recognised certification
Then, after taking some time off of teaching, she realised that she wanted to be back in the classroom. Kristina shared that she at first tried a different TEFL course, but then realised that it would not allow her to teach in Ireland. So, she looked for certification that is recognised in Ireland. This is when she found the EBC Trinity CerTESOL course.
“I started (a different course), and then I realised, oh, this is so useless. It means nothing, like I can’t even get a job in any of the schools in Ireland. But then I came across this (the EBC Trinity CertTESOL course) and it really suited me because it was online. I’m hoping to do maybe some teaching in person and some online, so I was really interested in taking this course.
“I think it’s time now to return to teaching. So I was like whoa. What could I do? And I realised that in Ireland, I think this Trinity CertTESOL and I think there was another one or two that are recognised.”
Practising English teachers: Teach English in Hong Kong
The same can be said for another recent application interview EBC conducted with a practising teacher in Hong Kong who needs the Trinity CertTESOL to join the NET scheme where schools in the public education sector require their teachers to have a Trinty CertTESOL to be able to teach in public schools.
What is the NET scheme? It is a programme that has been launched by the Hong Kong Education Bureau to develop English language education. The initiative allows native-speaking English teachers and local teachers in Hong Kong’s public school system to work together to help students improve their English.
Under this programme, a lot of importance is given to the skills and effectiveness of English teachers. This is why practising teachers who wish to join the NET scheme need the Trinity CertTESOL certificate.
Course benefits that practising English teachers will love
Besides being your ticket to success in the TEFL world, the EBC Trinity CertTESOL certificate also comes with a big plus. The lifetime, worldwide job placement programme is exclusive to EBC graduates, and makes it easy for English teachers to find English teaching jobs all around the world.
