Free Training Opportunities for ESOL Practitioners

Since the launch of the Adult ESOL Strategy for Scotland in 2007, SQA has been developing a suite of TESOL qualifications to provide professional development for ESOL practitioners in Scotland, in line with the Strategy's aspiration of 'a fully professional workforce with recognised career structures' and its recognition that 'ESOL practitioners need to show knowledge, technical competence, and expertise at a level consistent with effective programme delivery.'

The PDA: Introduction to Tutoring ESOL (G91E 46) was launched in 2008, and we are delighted that we are about to launch the PDA in TESOL at SCQF level 9 and a suite of Additional Units at SCQF level 9 and 10. SQA has contracted centres to create teaching and learning resources and to pilot these qualifications.
