Hi there.

I'm planning on completing an MA TESOL through Nottingham University in the next year. I took the 'non-standard' route to get into the program (highlighting experience, certificates and such).

Might the lack of BA be a hindrance?

Probably not with most places, especially if you have cert in lieu of a BA.

Thanks for that.

I do have a TESL cert through Oxford Seminars, though it's only a 60 hour certificate. Might anyone know if this is an issue?

I'd hope not with an MA TESOL

Not a problem, though an increasing number of institutions in Turkey are asking for DELTA in addition to or instead of MA TESOL. Or at least giving preference to DELTA for hiring/promotions/raises.
