Do I need TESL Canada Standard 1 before pursuing TESL Canada Standard 2?

No, you don’t need to get TESL Canada Standard 1 to pursue Standard 2 certification. However, for those who do not have previous ESL teaching experience, we do not recommend starting with Standard 2 certification.

A TESOL / TEFL / TESL certification program that leads to TESL Canada Professional Standard 1 certification, such as the 120-hour Advanced TESOL Certificate course offered by OnTESOL is as advanced as a CELTA or Trinity CertTESOL course and is valid for the majority of English teaching positions in Canada and abroad
