Graduates are eligible to apply for the TESL Ontario OCELT Accreditation and Professional Designation provided that they meet the university degree and English language proficiency requirements. The OCELT Certificate of Accreditation and Professional Designation recognizes that a certificate holder has the knowledge and skills required for teaching English to adult learners in all publicly funded and private programs in Ontario, other Canadian provinces and territories, and abroad. Approved applicants are also awarded the TESL Ontario International Certificate in Teaching English as an Additional Language (ICTEAL).
