ICERT in TESL

Is TESL for me?

Here are a few reasons for taking the TESL program and becoming an ESL teacher

  1. English is the fastest growing language in the world and as the world gets smaller through the use of technology, English becomes ever more important for international communication.
  2. There are hundreds of jobs waiting for you in Vancouver alone and thousands more waiting for you abroad as soon as you obtain TESL certification.
  3. ESL teachers are well paid and well respected professionals that are always in demand, wherever they may be.
  4. If you decide to travel, it is the single greatest investment you can make. You can literally teach your way around the world for the rest of your life.
  5. Teaching English to international students is one of the most exciting and rewarding experiences of your life. You will not only learn about other cultures, but will have the privilege to teach others about your culture and your language.
