Diploma Course Assessment

With the diploma course you receive a task sheet with each module which you will use to monitor your own progress. Once you reach the end of the sixth module you will then download a test that covers all the information that has been covered up to that point in the course. After you successfully complete the test, you will then continue working through modules 7 to 11 which will also be followed by a test that covers those sections. To complete the course you will need to submit the research project as outlined in module 12.

Upon successful completion of the task sheets and the research project, you will receive your online TEFL Diploma certificate.
