I have a Masters in Teaching English Foreign Language, but I am interested in learning if anyone knows of an online management certificate or training program specifically for TEFL

[scooby doo]

The IDLTM, (International Diploma in Language Teaching Management) a Cambridge diploma level course. About 250 hours; a 2 week face-to-face and the rest is online.

As scooby doo said, the IDLTM is one option. However, if you prefer a course which can be completed online without a face-to-face component, try this: http://www.ihlondon.com/management-training-9/onl-mod/

That's interesting, I wasn't aware of the ih course, I'm wondering if it is geared more towards DoSes? I think the idltm is probably more suitable for managers. Does anyone know how much the ih modules cost? Thanks

Could you not just take a module / unit / term course in Educational Leadership through the university where you did your masters degree? Many universities have masters degrees in Educational Leadership because that's what you need to be a principal in most Western countries.

Aston University in Birmingham, England, has a distance-learning MSc in Educational Management (TESOL) degree.

Details can be found by clicking on this link:

Interestingly enough, one can also undertake a distance-learning PhD in Applied Linguistics at Aston over four years, although the fees for international students are quite high, some 4,200 GBP per year for these four years.

This is from IHL:

The total cost of the diploma is as follows:
Module fee: 220 x 5 = 1100
Assignment marking fee: 50 x 5 = 250

Total: �1350

With credit towards MSc TESOL at Aston.
