TESOL course UK. 4 assessed courses, 600 notional hours, tuition-free.
Online or on campus
TESOL course UK. PGCert TESOL at University of Brigant: 4 assessed courses, 60 credits and 600 notional learning hours, at 10 hours per credit. The hours on each course add up to that total. Seminars run online. An Edinburgh campus route is published separately from this online award. This award does not confer a teaching licence, QTS, or GTCS registration. PGCert TESOL is taught as one award, not a list of unrelated modules. The published length is 6 months, and the credit total is 60. Students move from Learners and the aim of the session through Learners and the aim of the session; Session design; Assessment; Inclusion and records, and finish on Inclusion and records. Each course has a question, a method, and a submission. In this field, students apply the method of the subject to a defined problem and defend the result. Reading is a core text, a case or dataset, and a critique. The artefact a marker expects is a submission that shows the method, the evidence, and the limit of the claim. The award is built so that a graduate can do the following in practice: Produce a professional file in TESOL Choose a method and write what the evidence cannot support Keep a record a third party can review Teaching assumes the student can read a source, attempt a problem before the seminar, and revise after feedback. Attendance at live seminars is part of the design. The capstone or final course must use the methods of the earlier courses; a project that ignores them does not pass. The pages for each course name the topics that are examined. Those topics are the syllabus. A brochure line is not a substitute for them.
Each credit is 10 notional learning hours. The courses add up to 60 credits and 600 hours. This award does not confer a teaching licence, QTS, or GTCS registration.

| SUPS601 | Learners and the aim of the session Learners and the aim of the session (SUPS601) is a 15-credit course on PGCert TESOL, with 150 notional learning hours. By the end, students can apply the method of the subject to a defined problem and defend the result, using Learners and the aim of the session as the working context rather than a generic management example. The course is taught in three movements. First, students establish the terms and the decision the course is about. Second, they apply the method to a case, dataset, text, or design and compare it with a weaker alternative. Third, they revise the work after feedback and state what the conclusion cannot support. Preparation uses a core text, a case or dataset, and a critique. Seminar time is for the decision, not for reading the materials aloud. Assessment is a submission that shows the method, the evidence, and the limit of the claim. A pass requires a clear method, evidence a marker can check, and an explicit limit. Credit is not awarded for summary alone.
