| Grahamcito, what sort of training and experience was required in order to become a TEFL instructor to train teachers? |

| I highly doubt Vancouver Language Centre pays their teacher trainers a salary, let alone anything close to 12,000. I haven't talk there for many years, but ESL teachers were making 45 pesos/hour and everyone needed private classes to survive. The teacher trainers were not trained to teach which is partly why I think they weren't making anything higher. The other part was simply because the head of the school at the time was so cheap. Out of curiousity, does anyone know what they pay teachers now? |

I don't know that there are set requirements, but all the TEFL trainers at my school:
Have TEFL (all but one have CELTA).
Have a university degree.
Have at least three years' teaching experience.
Have taught business English.
Have taught children.
Have experience of teaching in at least two countries.
Have audited our school's TEFL course. |

In 2003-2004 they were paying beginning teachers 42 pesos per hour. I hope that's changed with recent changes in administration. |
