The Level 4 Certificate in Online Teaching (CertOT) 

The Trinity Certificate in Online Teaching (CertOT) is the formal qualification and assessment element of the Trinity Teach English Online course. Available as a progression pathway from the Trinity Teach English Online course, the CertOT assesses key learning from the 10 units of the Teach English Online course, enabling you to formalise your development with an internationally recognised, Ofqual-regulated, Level 4 teaching qualification.

The CertOT qualification evidences your commitment to continuing your professional development (CPD), formalises the acquisition of knowledge and skills necessary to teach in an online environment.

Because the CertOT is designed around the development of specialist online pedagogical knowledge and skills, the assessment focus is on demonstrating knowledge through a series of tasks that reflect everyday teacher activities and professional development planning.

The Trinity CertOT qualification is a great addition to any teacher’s CV providing evidence to employers about a teacher’s ability to practise in an online environment.

As a natural progression from the Teach English Online unit portfolio tasks, four CertOT assessment tasks allow teachers to demonstrate their ability to:

• Identify the different features of a successful online lesson
• Plan lessons for an online environment
• Select and give and rationale for your online resources
• Plan your ongoing professional development

Total qualification time - 50 hours:

• 30 hours' guided learning for the Teach English Online course
• 20 hours hours' self-study to complete four CertOT assessment tasks
