Many employers prefer their teachers to have some form of additional specialized qualification in addition to their standard TESOL certificate Many teachers also want to gain some form of specialized qualification in the teaching of different categories of students.

For this reason, International TESOL Teacher Training developed a number of years ago, two specialized courses aimed at the Teaching of Business English (CTBE) and the Teaching of English toYoung Learners (CTEYL).

Both courses are completed entirely online and result in their own 50-hour certificate.
