I started preparing the Trinity Diploma in TESOL in October 2020, successfully completing the final assessment in April 2023. More commonly known as the DipTESOL, the Diploma is a Level 7 qualification in ELT and the Trinity equivalent of the Cambridge Delta. You can find out more information about my course here.

During the extensive preparation course, I kept a regular blog reflecting on the content of each module and my ongoing experience. I have also created a more detailed guide for each section of the assessment. Follow the links below to get to each section, and please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions about the Dip.

Unit 1 Self-study guides

The best advice from one of our tutors early on in the course was to get a study buddy. With several of my colleagues on our course, we formed a study group to guide our revision for the Unit 1 Written Exam (and which turned into something of an emotional support group as we progressed through the later units).

My contribution to our study group was a set of comprehensive study guides for various themes in the Unit 1 Exam, which are available to buy here.
