Full IATQuO Accreditation of TESOL Certificate Combined Courses

The practical element must contain a minimum of 40 contact hours with tutors over a period of 2 intensive weeks and should include practical assignments and observed practice teaching. The Combined TESOL certificate is obtained following successful completion of the practical element.

Online course modules can be IATQuO accredited, providing that they demonstrate satisfactory learning by students of the theoretical parts of a TESOL course, equivalent to a minimum of 60 hours of tuition.

An Online TESOL course can only result in a fully accredited Certificate if it is combined with practical training at an accredited TESOL training centre.
