Description

Teacher Training Programs we offer:

* TESL Diploma:

This program is meant for native or proficient English speakers who wish to teach English in Canada or overseas. The program is recognized by TESL Canada and the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities. The course is 100 hours in class with an additional 10 hours of ESL classroom observation and 10 hours of ESL classroom teaching. All components of the program are completed and arranged by International House Toronto.

Class sizes are a maximum of 10 students to assure that each student is able to receive personal attention from the instructor and practicum observers. The course balances the theoretical learning and the practical learning to assure that all students have a solid foundation of teaching English both as a second and as a foreign language.

The 4 week program is very intense, so we also offer a 10 week part time program for those who have other commitments or who would rather take more time to absorb the material.

Full time schedule is Monday to Friday from 9am to 3:15pm. Part time schedule is 6pm to 9:30pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.

After graduation, students have full assistance with finding employment both locally and overseas, creating their resumes and all other questions they may have. This assistance is given on an ongoing basis and does not expire!

* 1 Week TEFL Course:

The International House Toronto TEFL Certificate is a one-week introductory ESL course designed to equip new teachers with the skills necessary to survive in the classroom for those who don't need to/are unable to commit to a full CELTA, TESL or TESOL course (or would like to see what it's like first). Unlike most introductory courses, the IHT TEFL Certificate includes observed teaching practice and is delivered over five days totaling to 30 actual classroom hours.

The program runs:
* Full Time - Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm
* Weekends - 3 Saturdays and 2 Sundays 9am to 5pm
* Part Time - Monday to Thursday 6pm to 10pm and Saturday and Sunday from 9am to 5pm

The maximum class size is 12.
