FREE OF CHARGE to all TEFL Certificate Course enrollees: THE TEACHER'S GRAMMAR MODULE and THE LANGUAGE COMPARISON MODULE, total value $675.00 U.S.* — within a complete TEFL Certificate Course package of just $1,395 complete!— plus, as a Year 2009 Limited Time Special: Our package now includes without extra charge our TEFL Diploma Course Part II (with free textbook): Teaching English to Young Learners, regular fee $660.00, for a total ADDED Value of $1,335.00!!
Note also that in order to maximize both your savings while in training, and your earnings as an EFL/ESL teacher (by qualifying to teach any type of English course and any level of English course to anyone anywhere in the world), you will need to complete both the Certificate Course, if you haven't done so already, and the Advanced Skills TEFL Diploma Program. This is because the chief training focus of any TEFL certificate course is, and must be, on helping students to develop fluent conversational skills. Be assured , however, that by enrolling in our TEFL Certificate Course at this time – your Diploma Course study will already be half finished! This will cut your TEFL Diploma Course fee by 1/2, and you can study that later on during a designated Sunday-only course date. For potential scheduling information, please contact Mr Leigh Richards, and for full information on the above unique Certificate Course Modules and our other course and program content, click here:
*Note that the Language Comparison Module and the Teacher's Grammar Module are not currently offered separately from the TEFL Course, as graduates of other Certificate Courses would generally not qualify for entry due to inadequate preparation.
As for Part I of our TEFL Diploma Course, which prepares you to teach English in all adult learner classes, and for the EFL/ESL teaching
professional you yourself aspire to become, there are many other kinds of
courses you wll learn to teach, and the teaching of these pays teachers much more money than
just the conversation classes! These courses include, in part, TOEFL, IELTS and TOEIC, as well as business communications, writing and many other English for Special Purposes (ESP) classes – all of which, and much more, you will learn comprehensively to achieve in the Diploma Course only. In
other words, if you're going to do something (teach English), you
might as well do it right – by
maximizing both your earnings and your usefulness to future students,
of all ability levels and objectives.
In the meantime, however, there is nothing wrong with doing the TEFL
Certificate Course first, the fees for which follow below, and then waiting for awhile before doing the Diploma Course Part I. In any case, if you plan on teaching
children, you will certainly learn how to do that – right in your TEFL Certificate Course, and without any further study whatever!
Persons interested in doing the full TEFL Diploma Course: Note that this is conducted on Sundays only for 16 weeks, or Part I only, for 8 weeks. Minimum number of trainees to start the course, 2. If the course is not conducted, TEFL Diploma Course fees will be refunded in full to the enrollee.

TEFL
Certificate Course components and benefits.
Our TEFL Diploma Course is
adequately described above, and elsewhere. Our TEFL Certificate Course
consists of 120 hours in the training room and 6-8
hours of teaching practice with real
students
(including critiques, recommendations and a great deal of encouragement
by
your trainer and other trained and experienced observers), all of
which, along with your trainer and your course materials, is to make
you thoroughly professional and confident as a teacher. This is why we GUARANTEE that you will get a good job after graduation.
Your end-of-course documents
include your course performance evaluation by the
trainer,
with an English language description of the course for Directors of
Study
on the reverse side; a separate Thai language course description
document
for use with Thai school owners and directors whose own English is not
very
accomplished — and, most important of all, your course completion
Certificate,
which is full-color with gold embossing, and one which you will
want to
frame and keep forever. All of these documents are presented to you on
your last day of the Certificate Course class, to ensure that you
are fully prepared
to begin
applying for work (if you haven't already obtained work with us!). Likewise, graduates
of the Diploma Course receive a Diploma document (also with a course
performance evaluation) on the last day
of class in that course, which means that full-program graduates will
now have both a
TEFL Certificate and a TEFL Diploma.
