General FAQ
Wherein lie the difference between TESOL and TEFL?
The terms virtually mean the same. In America and with large state sector colleges in Britain (e.g. the Institute of Education in London) the term TESOL is more common; while TEFL is more frequently used in U.K. Language Schools and in the U.K. press. However there exists a minor technical difference - TESOL admits all learners whose first language is not English, including ethnic minorities living in this country whereas TEFL refers only to "foreign" students. In a way a TESOL course covers more than restrictive TEFL course.

I speak English perfectly well. Do I still need a certificate to get a TEFL Job?
To be a successful English Teacher it’s not enough to speak English fluently.
Teaching English necessitates depiction of the English language with the correct knowledge and application of accent, phonetics and grammar.

A TEFL Certificate is not a mere certification it is awarded after training you with appropriate language teaching techniques so that you are able to teach language in any establishment. It is only with the certificate that you become a complete teacher. Nowadays employers all over Asia insist on a TEFL/TESOL training, it has become a must for teaching jobs in English.

There are endless certificate courses being advertised. How do I decide on which course to opt for?
No doubt there are numerous good schools to choose from. Many of which are run professionally and have qualified, competent teachers in employment. Sadly, no law exists to prevent one from starting a teacher-training center and there is no safeguard against being "ripped off" by a company claiming to handover genuine certificates. Important aspects that one must look for in a TESOL Certificate course include:
• At least 60 hours of time for teacher training
• 6 hours is spent in teaching actual students in classroom environment under guidance of a trained, qualified teacher.
• A supervisory body could be a university or an examining board that exercises quality control over the courses. Employers usually rely on certificates that fulfill or exceed these three criteria. Courses that fail to satisfy these criteria will not be approved as certified.
• We are committed to offering job guidance and work opportunities

Can you tell us a little more about Distance Learning or Short courses? There are too many of them and they seem inexpensive?
Don’t forget that most employers are on the lookout for certificates that meet the general criteria placed under number 1. And, it must be kept in mind, that a course which does not allow you diverse opportunities and doesn’t put you in actual teaching situations will offer inadequate benefit. Our course employs live instructor available for online chats / discussions/ we also have US based toll free numbers for clarification of doubts. Plus our certificate are duely notarized by the US government which many provider don't provide, this gives you an edge as most of the countries look certificates which are duely notarized.

Does the TESOL Certificate course make me eligible for undergraduate or graduate credit for taking??
Yes! If at present you are a university student we would gladly work in cooperation with your university to try and ensure credit. If you are keen for university credit for your participation, it is best that you contact us in advance. We will try our best and work with your university to arrange credit, wherever possible.

We are in the process of finalizing details of cooperation with Colleges in the US and UK. This will make it easier to get university credit and qualify for financial aid. Email us if you are interested in this option.

My grammar is awful! I don’t think if I can make it through your course.
As a competent user of the language, you have knowledge of grammar; it’s just that the terminology is not known! We familiarize you with the terminology in an enjoyable and easy way. We equip you with the basics of grammar you need to teach.

It’s said that these courses are really difficult?
Prior to opting for a course you should cautiously assess the teaching methodology and the materials. It is an intensive course but not one that cannot be completed. With a little effort and interest and sufficient help from trainers it can be successfully concluded.
We have tailored this model to be of international standard. Our focus was to address the teaching and learning needs and difficulties of the Asian community.

Is there any age restriction?
There is no official upper age limit; you have to be at least 19 years of age for the application to be valid. We have trained as well as found employment for graduates of different ages.

What would be the best time to do a course?
There is no best or worst time for doing the course. Teaching placements are possible year round as academic terms differ in every country.

What are the enrolment requirements for the Certificate course? How do I assess my eligibility /suitability? What type of people will be on the course other than me? Am I too old? How is the success rate and how many people fail?
All these questions are interconnected. A variety of people enroll for the course. We have young fresh graduates in their early twenties eager to travel as well as professional in mid- thirties and forties who desire a career switch, or who wish to relocate overseas with spouse. We also have people nearing or in retirement and who want to do something in their spare time. A number of active teachers also do this course to upgrade for better skill and pay.

As far as eligibility requirements goes, in order to be a teacher of English, you are expected to have a high standard of both spoken and written English. By this we mean your use of English, not quite your knowledge of grammatical terminology: the course will provide you with language awareness.

Are you a person who has the confidence and presence to face a group of students and teach them for about 45 minutes?
If you happen to be a senior citizen, do not let this deter you from applying. If you are open to being trained you can happily enroll for the course and you’ll have no difficulty what so ever. But if you are set in your views and ways and unwilling to change your past learning experiences (irrespective of age), you may face problem.
