Dr. TEFL: HOW TO CHOOSE A COURSE

EBC International TEFL Certificate—Accredited TEFL training
HOW TO CHOOSE A TEFL COURSE OK, so we run TEFL courses and teach abroad programmes. However, there are other courses out there. This guide from Dr. TEFL walks you through all the options and highlights pros and cons where applicable. Course types There are quite a few different types:

The ideal is to attend a residential course in the country where you would like to teach. Doing this is the cheapest and easiest way to train and teach abroadTeaching is interactive, there are lots of practical exercises performed under the

direct supervision of a tutor and most importantly you get to teach practice classes. Ideally (as in EBC’s case) you should teach to classes of non-English speakers rather

Pros
You should get to teach practice classes to non-English speakers. Aside from the invaluable experience of doing this, you will be infinitely more attractive to employers than other people that have only done an online/distance course.

ployers. ONLINE ONLY COURSES Exactly as it says, your training is given online. These types of courses grew from the old distance learning courses. Initially started in the 1970’s, distance learning courses functioned using the postal service. Material and assignments were interchanged between student and teacher using the postal service. As we are now in the internet age, the postal service has been replaced by email and web based delivery. The EBC online courses use web technology. All material is published on the web and administered using MOODLE. Your material, video clips, assignments, communicating with your tutor, feedback, results etc. are all processed online in order to shorten your learning time.

it, apply and then probably fly to the country for an interview. Are you willing to risk spending a lot of money flying to a different country and living there in the hope that you will get a job offer? Summary An online/distance learning course will teach you teaching theory. It is cheap and you study at your own pace. If you really want to teach abroad, do not take an online only course. In the long run, it will cost you a lot more than taking a four week residential course.

and a residential course.
EBC gives you this option. You can combine the online TEFL TESOL certificate course with a two week teaching practice module taught in our Madrid training centre. Pros Blended learning combines most of the advantages of online and residential learning. You will obtain a qualification at the end of the teaching practice that will help you get work as it has real teaching practice.

The online part still has the problem of a lack of immediate response by a tutor to your questions. The residential part still has the problem of you needing to dedicate time and travel in order to complete the teaching practice module. Summary Blended learning is for someone that wants more than a purely online course but usually cannot afford the time or perhaps the cost of a 4 week intensive residential. Blended learning will give you a qualification that will be viewed positively by potential employers as it has real teaching practice.

Pros Short. Cons On a cost per hour basis they are very expensive, usually twice the price of a residential course and often more expensive than a good online course. If you are given

a certificate at the end of it, very few employers will accept it as the number of
info@ebcteflcourse.com
course hours falls well below the generally accepted minimum of 100 hours and
Skype: ebcteflcourse
there’s no teaching practice. Summary If you have a bit of time to spare on a weekend and are looking for something to do, then this type of course may be for you. If you are serious about teaching English and want to get a qualification that is acceptable then do not take one of these courses. If, due to personal circumstances, the abbreviated or weekend course is the only type of course you can do, save your money. Aside from slick marketing, we have no idea how these courses survive as they are basically useless if you want to teach abroad.

The EBC International TEFL Certificate course is accredited by the College of Teachers (CoT).
Our accredited status also means that the quality of our course is independently checked regarding:
FINDING A COURSE There are many web portals that list TESOL TEFL courses around the world. An alternative is to go to a search engine, e.g. Google, MSN Search etc. and type in a few keywords, for example TEFL course + the location where you would like to work or study. This will give you a list of all courses in the area that you are interested in. Once you have the list, start making a short-list based on the suggested criteria shown in the next sections. Be very careful about TEFL portals. You can tell them apart from organisations that actually run courses because. The “PORTAL TEST” is to ask the question, “give me the address and phone number of your school in [country].” If they say no, they are hiding the identity of the school because: 1) it is a bad school or 2) they do not want you to apply directly to the school because they will lose their commission.

REFERENCES FROM PAST STUDENTS Always ask the schools that you are considering for references from previous course students. This is by far the best way to check how good a school is. COURSE CENTRE LOCATION Becoming an accredited English teacher is as much about finding work as it is about

getting the right qualification. It is difficult to study in your own country and then

courses run all around the world. This means that if you are fairly certain of the country that you would like to teach in, go and do your course in that country. As there are many accredited training institutions around the world you should have no trouble finding one that best suits your requirements. Don't forget that all accredited certificates are internationally accepted so it really does not matter which one you choose. ENTRY REQUIREMENTS In general, almost all courses (accredited and non-accredited) will accept anyone from the age of 18 that finished secondary education. EBC has always taken a cynical

and 2 advanced level classes so that you see the challenges associated with each level. JOB HELP Ask the schools on your short-list what type of job help they give. This is very important as you don't want to be hanging around without work for weeks after finishing your course. Unfortunately the accreditation process does not currently extend to covering job help. You will get work with an accredited certificate but the more help your training institution can give you the quicker you'll get working. Make sure you don't forget to ask what kind of job help they will give you. EBC's lifetime, job placement assistance programme is unique and unrivalled. It is proactive, fast, efficient and it will have you working within a few days (or less) of

The school that you eventually choose should be sympathetic to the fact that you are moving to a new country to study and therefore need all the help you can get.

EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES AND THE FUN FACTOR
Having said that, the fun factor does play a useful role as long as it is secondary to your learning experience. As the old adage “all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy” implies, if your course is all work without any extra-curricular activities to give you some needed relaxation time, then you may begin to look at your course as more of a chore than something that you appreciate doing. In EBC's case, we have to say that the EBC course is intensive and it is challenging, but we do pepper the course period with extra-curricular activities. Group dinners, visits to discos, cultural excursion for example to see local dance (e.g. flamenco or tango) etc.

cus on the task at hand during the course. COST The cost of a course is relative. In general, accredited courses cost more than nonaccredited courses for one simple reason; the course operator has to pay a registration and certification fee on a per-head basis to the accrediting organisation. You must always check with the accredited schools on your short-list whether the accreditation fees are included in the course fee. There are cheaper, unaccredited courses but in the long run is it worth it? Would you pay for a cheap, non-accredited degree? If you wouldn't then my advice is that
