Program 09821 
This teacher training
program is recognized by:
This post-graduate 140-hour TESL Canada accredited program consists of 120 hours of course work plus 10 hours of ESL classroom observation and a 10 hour teaching practicum. The program is designed to be completed in one semester part-time; however, students have the flexibility to complete the certificate at their own pace over two or three semesters. Courses can be taken in any order except for TSOL 515 which is the last course in the program. All observations and practicum teaching may be completed in ESL classes at Humber College.
The certificate program is a hybrid program consisting of both in-class and online classes allowing students to take in-class and online classes at the same time. Upon successful completion of the TESL Certificate, students can apply to TESL Canada for certification. The TESL Canada certificate qualifies graduates to teach EFL overseas and ESL in programs across Canada that do not require TESL Ontario or equivalent accreditation.
