The ACE TESOL Teacher Certification Program (“the Program”) consists of a series of courses that will upskill both new and experienced English language teachers in lesson planning and delivery, classroom management, assessment and feedback, materials creation, and making meaningful improvements in the classrooms of themselves and their peers. The Program includes classroom input as well as observation of experienced teachers and peers, and all participants will receive individualised feedback after being observed teaching real students. The Program offers certification at two levels - the Essential Level and the Advanced Level. These certifications are key indicators of progress in any teacher’s professional development and are invaluable steps in helping them advance their teaching careers and accelerate the learning outcomes of their students.
