You will have the opportunity to progress into the Master of Education (TESOL) or the Master of Education Advanced (TESOL) if you are interested in further study, with credit for all of the subjects (24 credit points) completed in the Graduate Certificate. This Graduate Certificate is flexible, allowing you to study online, in the classroom, or a combination of both.
