* Program is currently reapplying for recognition. Students who graduate from a program during the reapplication period will be able to apply for TESL Canada certification.
* The expired list has moved to the new page. For a list of previously recognized programs click here .
TESL Canada recognition of a teacher training program is based on an evaluation of the program's submitted curriculum, instructional staff, facilities and resources in place to prepare teachers to enter the TESL/TEFL profession. The recognition process does not include an evaluation of a program's business practices. Therefore, TESL Canada recognition does not imply TESL Canada approval or endorsement of a program's business practices.
This list is maintained and updated daily to reflect TESL Canada's recognized programs. If a program is not listed here it either does not meet standards or has not applied for recognition. For more information contact the TESL Canada office at 604-298-0312 or admin@tesl.ca.
