Korean Job Discussion Forums

I am looking to get a PGDE and I would like to get it in Korea or over the internet(partially) if possible. Any recommendations, cost, personal experience. I have a B.S. in Bus Admin and a TEFL but it seem that you need a teaching license, PGDE, to get the good international jobs(Thailand) . No I am not willing to return to America to get on.

for American teacher certification the only one that is distance/online (that I have found through extensive searching) is through Drexel University. They are based in Philadelphia and have a good reputation there as a private university (I'm from Philadelphia). They suggest that students can do their required practice teaching through Department of Defense schools.

Other than USA, University of New England in Australia offers a distance program with AU-based residencies. However their dates for the one week residencies do not match with most Korean school/university holidays and you still need to arrange your 45-50 days of practice teaching.

If you find other options, please post them here. I've never heard of any program in Korea that offers (or would be recognized internationally) a PGDE.

PGDE...post graduate degree in Education?

Are you looking for a credential or a MA in Education?....if it's the credential side go for the links posted in the previous response. If it's a straight MAEd then check out any grad school worldwide with Distance/online learning and an Education department.

University of Phoenix and National University (both American) are the first two that come to mind for me.
