Who are these TESOL qualifications for?
The GA TESOL qualifications are designed to provide learners with high quality, regulated qualifications with which they can embark upon, or progress within, a career involving teaching English to speakers of other languages. TESOL covers teaching English anywhere, even in majority English-speaking countries like the UK, the USA, Canada and Australia.
