Application Process

The application for our Trinity College TESOL certificate and/or TYLE course is simple and quick:

1. Complete the on-line application process

2. We will confirm receipt of your application form by e-mail and give you an appointment for a telephone or face-to-face interview, as appropriate. If, however, the time is not convenient for you please reply with alternative times.

3. At the allotted time you should call the school and speak to a member of the training team. The interview will last for about 30 minutes, during which you will discuss aspects of language learning and teaching, as well your reasons for wanting to do the course. It is also your opportunity to ask any questions that you may have about the course or anything related to it.

4. Within 24 hours we will send you an e-mail letting you know the outcome of the interview. If accepted on the course, we will also include the pre-course task and additional practical information regarding travel, accommodation and payment.

5. In order to reserve your place we ask you to pay a deposit of €350. The outstanding balance must be paid 3 weeks (15 working days) prior to the course start date, at the latest.
