WHO ARE WE?
ITA TESOL is an amazing team of highly qualified and motivated TESOL trainers providing high quality interactive TESOL courses. We are a not-for-profit organisation committed to keeping TESOL course costs low while investing in ESL ministries.
Intercultural Training Associates was established in 2001 by Dr Dorothy and Rev George Mathieson in order to develop an Australian government accredited Certificate in Teaching Conversational English. Directors Kim Hood and Juanita Anderson developed ITA TESOL, and trained and equipped an amazing team to deliver courses in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. Intercultural Training Associates then became a not-for-profit organisation, known as Intercultural Training Australia in 2011. The high quality Certificate IV in Teaching Conversational English (TESOL) was accredited in 2002 and reaccredited in 2007, 2012 and 2017 with code numbers 30219QLD, 30664QLD, 30987QLD, and 10632NAT respectively. A name change took place in the 2022 reaccreditation to Certificate IV in Teaching an Additional Language - TESOL. 11025NAT is the new course code. Maureen Face (Director of Studies), an ITA graduate, joined the ITA team in 2015 and helped us continue to deliver TESOL courses across Australia and overseas. With a highly experienced team of TESOL trainers and administrative staff, ITA TESOL is still providing the highest level of TESOL training in Australia, Thailand, Cambodia and the USA.
In 2020 we commenced our first interactive online TESOL courses as well as blended TESOL courses (face-to-face and online). Now anyone anywhere can complete our amazing TESOL course.
ITA TESOL works in collaboration with Australian College of Career Development (ACCD) a Registered Training Organisations (RTO) provider No: 31980.
In 2021 we celebrated 20 years of TESOL training.
