The Diploma in Education (TESL) is for teachers interested in teaching English to speakers of other languages in B.C. schools (if candidates already possess a valid B.C. teaching certificate), in adult community or academic settings, or overseas.
The prerequisite to the Diploma in Education (TESL) is a minimum of one year's teaching experience. The program requires 30credits of approved core and elective courses.

It is generally possible to complete LLED 478C and credit it later (within 5 years) to the Diploma in TESL Program.
