Part-Time TESOL Program

The department of Liberal Arts & Sciences offers a part-time TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) Certificate of Achievement that has been taken by a number of faculty and staff members at the College. With an increasing number of international students in our colleges and universities, TESL training is no longer just for ESL teachers. This program provides any instructor or staff member with a solid base in teaching methodology, foundations of the English language, and ways to work with and support ESL students in their classes or departments, no matter the subject area.

There are five required courses in our part-time TESOL program: two in-class, two online, and a 20 hour practicum which can be completed in one of our Humber ESL classes. Each class is 30 hours in length and runs over a period of five weeks. This summer we are offering all 5 courses which would allow you to complete the program in just four months!

In-class courses run on Monday and Wednesday evenings from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. The courses are offered each semester, so you can complete the program at your own pace, in one, two, three or more semesters. Completing the TESOL certificate also opens the door if you ever wish to teach overseas. For those instructors without any formal teacher training, this is also a great way to enhance your resume with a teaching credential. Each course is $295.00. Below you will find more information about the classes, along with our link for registration.
