TEFL/TESOL Dual Certification and Verification Option
INTESOL Japan is now proud to offer dual certification and verification direct from the awarding body. When you receive feedback on your final task, your tutor will attach the two forms – Completion and Declaration Form. If you want dual certification, fill out both forms, check the box “Do you wish to receive dual certification?” on the completion form and return them to us. You will be contacted directly by ALAP, the awarding body, about the procedure.
Dual Certification
The terms TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) and TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) are interchangeable, but you will find that some schools, even some governments, prefer one of these terms rather than the other. INTESOL Japan therefore now offers both certificates to students as an option.
Verification Letter Option
You can now also receive a verification letter to show a potential employer that your certificate is genuine. This is only available as a hard copy and only with a hard copy of your certificate and course transcript.
Who is Eligible?
These options are open to all INTESOL Japan students who complete a TESOL course. Past students who have completed an INTESOL TESOL course and have been awarded their certificate by ALAP can apply to the ALAP Exams Officer on certs@alapuk.org for retrospective award of dual certification and verification letter.
