1. Flexibility of Content
The Trinity course is suitable for all English Language teachers, whether they are specialists in teaching Young Learners, Business English, EAP, General English, or a mixture of these. Other courses, such as the UCLES DELTA exclude Young Learners. The flexible nature of the Trinity Diploma means you can answer exam questions and submit projects relating to the learners you teach.

2. A world-class team of tutors
Aside from all being Trinity Diploma holders themselves, our tutors have a wealth of experience as language teachers and teacher trainers in numerous countries. They have spoken at conferences around the world and published articles in magazines and journals. They have written coursebooks and professional manuals for teachers with Oxford University Press, Cambridge University Press, Delta Publishing and Macmillan. They have published material on the web that you may have used in class with your students. For these reasons we believe that our tutor team is really world-class.

We also include guest tutors in our live and on line sessions, experts in their field of ELT. Recent guests include Scott Thornbury, Gavin Dudeney and Nicky Hockly, Mark Powell, Kyle Mawer and Jo Budden.

3. Learning Atmosphere
We believe it is essential to create a positive learning atmosphere in the classroom and the school as a whole on all our courses. This is true as well of our Distance Diploma course, which, unlike most distance learning, aims to replicate the dynamic of face-to-face teaching, by creating a fixed group of learners who study together as a class, rather than isolated individuals. You will be given plenty of encouragement, personal attention and support from our team of tutors. They will challenge you, but create a manageable workload. They will encourage you to enjoy your learning. Testimonials from our graduates

4. Flexibility of exam dates
The Trinity courses at OxfordTEFL offer maximum possible flexibility through combining in various ways face-to-face and distance modes of learning. Candidates can elect to sit the written exam at any of 3 dates during the year. Practical exams are taken during your face-to-face block which can be in May, August or November. Our courses are designed to get you through the exams by given dates, but you are only assessed when you feel absolutely ready.

5. A prestigious qualification
The Trinity College London Licentiate Diploma in TESOL, to use its full title, is one of only 2 advanced qualifications officially recognised by the British Council (the other is the UCLES DELTA). You can find out more at the Trinity College, London website. It has worldwide acceptance as an advanced teaching qualification and is usually a requirement for senior teaching posts, teacher training posts, Director of Studies posts and regular teaching posts with the more “prestigious” language teaching organisations.

6. Small groups
The maximum number of participants is 12, including on our distance course. This ensures you get the help, support and access to resources you need.

7. Our Course fees are competitive
Because our course participants usually come on personal recommendation, rather than as result of heavy advertising we feel our course fees to be competitive. Course Fees and dates. We can offer low cost accommodation in Barcelona during the face-to-face component of the course in May, August or November.
