Improve your life.

Cruisemonkey's 99 hour TESOL will teach you how to capitalize (it's not good for much else).

This week only! - $2,500 (plus taxes and fees).

A Certificate is the standard qualification required to teach English as a Second or Foreign Language in the private sector. Accepted all over the world, the 100hrs ICAL TESL/TEFL Certificate is regarded as a benchmark by which other online courses are judged and we are proud leaders in this field.

We have many ICAL graduates who have found suite employment tin the countries you mentioned thanks to their ICAL certificate and related papers. In fact, the ICAL 100hrs TESL/TEFL Certificate is even accepted by the Education and Manpower Bureau in Hong Kong.

I assume you already have a degree so adding a TESL certificate to your r�sum� will increase your marketability in those countries.

.....

IATQUO moderates only those course providers listed on their website. To be listed on the IATQUO website you need to pay them not only a registration fee but also a commission for each student you have on your books. So as you can see their validation is hardly independent and unbiased. In fact IATQUO was originally set up for a school (TEFL International) that couldn�t get accreditation through the usual channels.

Of course to be 100% certain you should contact the school or relevant government department and check with them first. This will, of course, prevent any problems later.

May I also suggest that you do this even if you take a course from an organization other than ICAL. There is currently NO independent accrediting organization for TESL/TEFL Courses and so it is up to the individual school or government to determine which courses they accept. And in many situations it is left to the individual school; there have been cases where one school in a town will accept a particular certificate but another school in the same town will not

Ah, but will he get a certificate he can print off himself saying he's completed a 100-hour course and making himself eligible for a W100,000 / month raise that will pay for the course over the next three years?


what?

No, the 100 hour course with CALL module and two hours of observed teaching in a real simulated environment is $3,499.

Guaranteed placement!

Winfield College, Archer College, and Vancouver Community College, all have good online certifications. I am sure there are several other good institutions also. Yes, they cost more than a cheapo short course that will just give you a piece of paper, but you will be very happy you made the financial investment because of the knowledge you will have. If you are considering making teaching English as a Second/Foreign Language a career then it is really worth it.
