PGCert in Teaching English as a Second Language

Admission Requirements: Entry requires a bachelor's degree, advanced diploma, diploma, or equivalent. Non-native speakers of English applying to this program must present an IELTS score of overall 6.5 with no single skill below 6.0, or a TOEFL score of 88 or above with a minimum of 22 in each of Reading, Listening, Speaking and Writing, together with strong communication skills; the program notes that TESL Ontario's own teacher-accreditation requirements at teslontario.org may call for more. A Canadian citizen or permanent resident who was schooled outside Canada must first have their credentials assessed before those courses can count toward admission - ICAS course-by-course for a secondary-school transcript, or WES for post-secondary study.
