special?1. Will my certificate expire?
No, there is no expiration date for your TESOL certificate. You will not be required to 'renew' your certificate. Your TESOL certificate is similar to a high school diploma or a university degree in that once you have received your paper, you will always have this credential.
2. Who can take this course?
You must meet the following 3 requirements to be able to register for a TEAM TESOL course:- You must be fluent in English (Second language speakers of English who are fluent in English are welcome to enroll.)
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You must have a minimum of your high school diploma or equivalency.
People of varied educational backgrounds may take this course. Students in this course range from high school graduates to university professors. People of any occupational background may take this course. You are not required to have an Bachelor of Education degree to enroll, although there are teachers who seek TESOL certification through this course.
Students also vary greatly in their travel experience. Some students have not yet done any travelling while other students are seasoned travellers.
3. Is this the most TESOL training I can get?
A TESOL certificate from should be seen as a valuable tool in the TESOL world.
In most cases, a TESOL certificate is all potential employers want or require of applicants and the certificate offers students sufficient knowledge and training for the job.
There are other organizations (eg. CELTA training organizations) that offer more in-depth, more extensive and more expensive training. Some programs run for 6 months or longer and are expensive ($3,000 or more).
We, at
, offer a shorter, yet very high-quality course of value, for those people who seek TESOL certification, without wanting to invest a great deal of time and money. Through our certification program, students earn a TESOL Certificate, serving as their passport to the world of teaching English. TESOL certified students have a credential directly related to the job and have a thorough understanding of the TESOL world.
Students of the
Certification Program can always choose to pursue further, more extensive TESOL training once they have become certain, through their certification, that it is the direction they are wanting to go.
4. How many TESOL courses/hours should I have?
There is no correct answer to this question. However, in most situations, employers are more than satisfied with a 40 or 60 Hour TESOL Certificate. Generally speaking, people with higher education, more qualifications and more experience get the best jobs.At
, we therefore suggest that you do some initial research into areas/teaching positions that you are interested in. This will allow you to get a sense of the amount of TESOL training these countries/teaching positions are asking for. You will soon see that a multitude of courses is generally not required for you to be hired.
offers additional correspondence courses. These courses are only in subject matters that are of great importance to many TESOL teachers. Most people do worry about their technical knowledge of English grammar, thus a "Teaching Grammar" correspondence course is offered. Also, more and more people are finding themselves in classrooms teaching English to children and therefore want training specific to this situation. Again, this is the reason behind our offering a "Teaching Children" correspondence course.
is proud to allow all of our customers the ability to choose whether they want additional training/hours. At , students are free to take only the 40 or 60 hour TESOL Certification Course and then later decide if they would like to continue with more training through the specialized correspondence courses.
5. How is TEAM TESOL accredited?
Unfortunately, there is no independent international TESOL accreditation organization.Click here to read more about this. www.eslincanada.com/accreditation.html
At
, we aim for honesty in all aspects of our business. We have no desire to try to deceive our customers. We see no sense in creating a separate organization to give the illusion of "accreditation" to our certificates. We treat our customers with respect by being honest. Our 'accreditation' is therefore gained through our satisfied and well-trained graduates and the employers who eagerly hire them.
More and more, language schools are requiring or preferring English teachers, such as yourself, to be TESOL certified. Language schools certainly do recognize and value the quality of teaching done by TESOL certified teachers.
