The 350-Hour PG Diploma in TEFL/TESOL is an advanced professional-development pathway for educators seeking substantial study of English-language teaching methodology, language systems, specialist practice and reflective inquiry.
The programme is intended for learners who already have a foundation in teaching or TEFL/TESOL and want to engage with more advanced planning, analysis and professional reflection.
