The Teachers of English Course at St Giles Brighton is specially designed for teachers of secondary and adult learners, with a strong focus on all aspects of communicative teaching methodology.
After completing the TEC course at St Giles Brighton, participants can further enhance their qualifications by undertaking an assessment to earn the Trinity Certificate for Practising Teachers. This Level 6 qualification is ideal for experienced teachers and is highly practical in nature. The Trinity CertPT is designed to advance professional development by helping teachers evaluate, adapt, and create teaching materials tailored to their own unique teaching contexts.
How is the Trinity CertPT assessed?
You'll complete four assessed written tasks (750-1000 words each) focusing on resources for teaching in your context:
- Task 1: An evaluation of a teaching resource
- Task 2: A rationale for a resource you have adapted for your learners
- Task 3: A rationale for an original resource you have created for your learners
- Task 4: A reflection on the use of Task 2 or 3 with your learners
During the face-to-face TEC course you'll have all the guidance and input you need to complete these tasks. Your personal tutor will then support you as you complete these tasks remotely after the end of the course. There are three pass grades: Pass, Pass with Merit and Pass with Distinction.

7th-18th July 2025Our Students Say
“Absolutely fabulous! I came to St Giles in Brighton to review specific teaching methodologies for teaching the English language. The experience turned out to be extremely positive. The teachers were attentive to our requests and it was a decidedly operational course, an English laboratory where we compared our work experience together. Absolutely a guarantee for those looking for professionalism, seriousness and friendliness from a course like this! Brighton was also a discovery, a young and lively city. I also appreciated the organisation, the tours and the activities of the social programme proposed by the school.”

"I highly recommend St-Giles for teacher training. The course was given by passionate, competent and receptive teachers. I came back from Brighton with lots of teaching tools to try out and new approaches to implement in the classroom. The discussions with the teachers and other students enabled me to question my own teaching practice and to continually improve it."
