Certificate for Practising Teachers (CertPT)

Trinity's Certificate for Practising Teachers is an inservice vocational teaching qualification listed at Level 6 on Ofqual's Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF). Designed around pedagogical outcomes rather than specific English language competency and requiring the completion of four practical teaching activities. The CertPT uses resource evaluation, creation, and application as a vehicle to support the development of teachers' knowledge and practice. Recognising that effective CPD stems from the identification of specific learning and teaching needs relevant to context, the CertPT provides in-service teachers with a deeper understanding of theoretical and practical aspects of the Communicative Approach to create a more communicative and effective classroom.

At the heart of the CertPT course lies a comprehensive curriculum carefully crafted to address the multifaceted aspects of communicative language teaching (CLT). Through twelve distinct course content components, participants delve deep into the principles and practicalities of CLT, covering areas such as language development, motivation, assessment, and materials adaptation. This robust curriculum, accredited by Trinity College London and regulated by OFQUAL at Level 6, ensures that participants gain a thorough understanding of CLT and its application in real-world teaching contexts.

What sets the CertPT course at Britishey Training Centre apart is its commitment to personalised learning experiences. Recognizing that every teacher comes with unique strengths and areas for growth, the course structure allows participants to tailor their learning journey to suit their individual needs and pace. Experienced trainers provide guidance and support, fostering an environment conducive to growth and development.

Moreover, the CertPT course not only focuses on theoretical knowledge but also emphasises practical application. Participants engage in action research projects, where they have the opportunity to implement CLT principles in their own teaching contexts. Through reflective practice and peer collaboration, teachers refine their teaching techniques and contribute to the ongoing discourse in English language teaching.

Upon successful completion of the CertPT course, participants receive a certification from Trinity College London, a globally recognized qualification that opens doors to a myriad of career opportunities in the field of education. From language schools to international institutions, certified teachers are highly sought after for their expertise and proficiency in CLT.

Beyond certification, the CertPT course at Britishey Training Centre offers a pathway to continuous professional development (CPD). The course promotes a culture of lifelong learning, encouraging teachers to stay updated with the latest pedagogical innovations, reflect on their teaching practices, and engage in networking opportunities with fellow professionals.

In conclusion, the Trinity CertPT course at Britishey Training Centre is not just a certification; it is a transformative journey that empowers educators to make a meaningful impact in the lives of English language learners. By providing a comprehensive curriculum, personalised learning experiences, and a supportive environment, Britishey Training Centre equips teachers with the skills and confidence to thrive in the dynamic field of English language teaching.

Frequently-asked Questions

The minimum is 6 months and should be in a teaching context relevant to the area being studied (eg online teaching, CLIL, Young Learners). Trinity considers six months to be sufficient for a practising teacher to understand their teaching context.

If you are entering for the English only assessment, you should have a minimum B2 level of English. If you are submitting bilingually (English and Spanish or English and Mandarin Chinese), you only need a minimum B2 level in either of these languages. In every case, the final decision on language level necessary will be decided by individual validated course providers.

No. The course requires a minimum of 100 hours' work, 30 of which should be input guided learning hours with Britishey Training Centre.

Yes. The main input could be conducted in a week, but the training centre will need to have systems in place to continue to guide participants as they complete their tasks. This may include online support.

There are four 750-word assessment tasks. You need to submit all four tasks for the CertPT. The CertPT is only awarded once all four tasks have been successfully completed.

All four written tasks have a recommended word count of 750 words (1,000 words maximum) although this does change according to language used.

If a candidate has been entered for English only, all tasks must be completed in English. If a candidate has been entered for bilingual assessment, tasks can be in either language, or a mix of both.

Once a course centre submits your task marks to Trinity, certificates for successful candidates are forwarded to course centres in 4-6 weeks.
