The NOCN Level 5 Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) is a teaching qualification for unqualified or prospective teachers of English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL).
This is a level 5 qualification that would give entry to TESOL and does not require candidates to have prior teaching experience. It requires a combination of input training, teaching practice and independent study and is assessed through teaching observations and written assignments.
This level of qualification is increasingly the standard requirement for ESOL teachers around the world.
The delivery will include the following topics:
- Assessment of Learning
- Classroom Management
- Classroom Teaching Skills and Techniques
- English Language Awareness
- Learning Materials
- Planning Learning
- Theories, Principles, Models and Learning Processes in Education and Training
- Intercultural Awareness for Teaching Learning and Assessment

“Going from having absolutely no idea to actually being able to do it and do the technology side of things in such a short space of time was nice because I have put in the hard work to get to this point, but I’ve also had the support of everyone around me.”
