What this is
The courses run nine to twelve hours and cover methodology: lesson planning, classroom management, assessment, teaching online. The certificate is issued automatically and states the number of hours, which matters for professional development records.
Two practical details: the material disappears once the course ends, so download it in advance, and enrolment on most of the courses closes on 23 September 2026.
Who it is for
English teachers in schools and language centres.
How to get it
- 1Open British Council and create a free account. No card is asked for at any point.
- 2Work through the material, ~10 h in total. It is self-paced, so the time is yours to spread.
- 3Complete every module. The document is issued on completion, not on an exam result.
- 4Download the certificate as a PDF and keep the verification link, which is what an employer actually checks.
