THERE SEEM TO BE SOOO MANY TESOL COURSES OUT THERE - HOW DO I CHOOSE?
Go with your gut - if you want to do a course that will be worth something when you finish and avoid ending up with 'just a piece of paper', there are a few questions you need to think about before choosing:
What to check when comparing TESOL Courses:
To save you some time, here are the answers to those questions about us and our courses:
- What level is the Course? Is it the right level for what I want to do?
- Is the course accredited (endorsed by the Australian Government)? Is that important for what I want to do?
- Is the Course worth something overseas?
- Will the course meet the TESOL qualification requirements for English as a Second Language (ESL) teachers in Australia?
- Is the course delivered by a reputable registered training organisation? Or is it just a third party looking to get sign-ups?
What to check when comparing TESOL Courses:
- Beware of providers that claim they offer "Internationally accredited courses". There is no international body that accredits courses. Ask who the Course is accredited by. Has the Course got Government accreditation? If no, think twice. Read more about International Standards →
- Be careful! A cheap course may not always be the right choice for what you want to do.
- Add up the costs - some courses advertise a low fee, but then hit you with practical placement fees, resource fees etc. and it ends up more expensive in the end.
- Beware of providers who claim to give you a job at the end - Is it actually a job or just an interview? If it is a job, ask a lot about what sort of job it is, where it is and what payment you will get (and whether it is even enough to cover living costs in that country). Is it actually a job that you would want or is it a job that is difficult to fill with low pay or an undesirable location?
To save you some time, here are the answers to those questions about us and our courses:
- We offer both non-accredited and accredited TESOL Courses - the International TESOL Certificate is a non-accredited specialised training program for those who don't require an accredited one, but want a high quality course at a very affordable price.
- The accredited courses we offer are the 11021NAT - Certificate IV in English Language Teaching (TESOL), 11020NAT - Diploma of English Language Teaching (TESOL), 11057NAT - Graduate Certificate in English Language Teaching (TESOL). These courses can be verified on the Australian Government's Website training.gov.au
- We are an Australian Registered Training Organisation, RTO Number: 30173 - see http://training.gov.au/Organisation/Details/30173 - this means we undergo strict monitoring by the Australian government. It also gives us recognition overseas as being a quality training provider.
- Our online TESOL courses consist of more than the equivalent of 100 hours of face to face contact. This is achieved for every student that completes any LTi TESOL course (of any delivery format) through the provision and requirements of the course materials which have been developed and designed for Distance Education in conjunction with the web based support LTi provides.
- We require all our students to complete practical placement with supervised practice teaching of real English as a Second Language students in an actual classroom.
