Program details

Overview

The Teaching English Language Learning Micro-certificate helps you gain the skills to help your students engage more often, focus and retain information—so you can better support them in overcoming the language challenges that may be barriers to their success.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: The Teaching English as a Foreign Language Micro-certificate targets aspiring teachers of English who are fluent in English and interested in teaching abroad; prior teaching experience is not required. The program page recommends, without mandating, that applicants have previously completed a program of undergraduate study. For applicants who are not native English speakers, the program requires proof of English proficiency through one of: a TOEFL iBT score of 94 or higher, an IELTS score of 7.0 or higher, or passing a TEFL program entrance interview in place of a test score. UVic's Division of Continuing Studies states no formal application beyond registration, no portfolio requirement, and no minimum age or work-experience threshold for this micro-certificate.

Application Details

Application Deadline: Domestic applicants apply through EducationPlannerBC, which opens for 2027-entry applications on 1 October 2026: most degree programmes see September 2027 entry close 31 January 2027, January 2027 entry close 30 September 2026, and Summer 2027 entry close 31 March 2027, though Teacher Education post-degree programmes close 2 January 2027, Indigenous Education post-degree admits on an ongoing basis, and Engineering's Summer entry (high-school graduates only) closes 31 December 2026. International applicants use the same portal and face identical dates, since UVic publishes no separate international deadline. UVic treats these as fixed annual dates rather than rolling admission, though it warns any programme can close early without notice. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
