Preparation for Practice Teaching
 
There are four requirements in this program:
Lecture – either face to face or online 
Assignments – Since there are six modules, there are also six sets of questions that have to be answered and sent to our email address
Practice Teaching – Either send a video or do this on Skype or Zoom (real time). Instructions are given on how to accomplish this.
Final Exam – This is a two-hour exam (open-note policy). Questionnaire is sent through email and answers have to be sent back after two hours.
Every student is given maximum of six months to complete all the requirements. If not be able to complete before the given time, $50 will be required as an extension fee as stated in the “Policies and Guidelines” of the program. This is to encourage students to finish the program at the given time.
After accomplishing all the requirements, the student is given a certificate. The regular one is inclusive of the fees but if an authenticated or a “apostille” copy is preferred, we can process this with a fee.
We have already catered to more than 1500 students for 20 years. Most of our students are now teaching English in almost all continents of the world.
