Study, assessment and certificate
You get 24/7 access to course materials with unlimited downloads and tutor support. Each module ends with 10 multiple-choice questions, and answer keys are sent so you can check your work. Diploma-level courses also need a final assignment and a lesson plan, which senior mentors review within about ten days; if changes are needed you revise and resubmit. How assessment works. APTTI states that certificates are notarised in Canada, carry the APTTI and International TEFL Canada logos, and are dispatched 30 to 90 days after completion.
