The DipTESOL (Licentiate of Trinity College London Diploma in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) is an internationally respected, widely available qualification for teachers of ESOL/EFL with at least two years' full-time teaching experience. Here are two of the reasons teachers commonly give for taking this qualification:
- They are planning to work in a position or organization that requires a diploma-level qualification. Examples include academic management, teacher training or work within the Higher Education sector.
- Having completed an initial certificate course and two years of ESOL teaching, they now feel they need to develop their skills and knowledge both for their own sake and so that they can support and guide less experienced colleagues.
