Our certificate program is designed for those who teach English as a Second Language (ESL) or English as a Foreign Language (EFL) to children. Focus on 6 to 12 year old children, but also very young learners and early teens.

Also online: All major universities around the globe are making the switch to online learning. Taking a distance learning course requires an awareness that YOU are responsible for your own learning. It is a new way of teaching and a new way of learning — a method that requires the learners to shift their minds into other modes of thinking. The reward is more freedom and greater flexibility in learning.
