About London Teacher Training College

I don't really think that any online teacher training is viewed as being equal to doing the teacher training in person. I don't recruit teachers but if I did, I would dream of employing one that had trained online. Sorry if that offends anybody but that is my perception.

I am a teacher currently teaching both GCE O' Level and Cambridge ESOL programmes. Will it make up to the absence of in-class training of such online certification.

I couldn't tell you. The best thing to do is contact English Schools in the area of where you want to work and ask them. I have the CELTA, where I work a normal TEFL isn't enough, but it would be fine for teaching in lots of places outside of the UK. Good Luck.

How aggressive your reply is ,I think!

Sorry it wasn't what you wanted to hear. It isn't aggressive at all, as I didn't attack the poster, I simply gave my honest opinion. There are voucher companies offering online TESL courses for next to nothing. Where I work they are worth nothing. You need CELTA or Trinity as a min requirement. If you think

Thanks Dave, I do agree with you. CELTA is twice the price of a Dip in TESOL in both M'sia & SG. So, i m wondering if it is worth the money to take a CELTA instead of a DIp in TESOL offered by local colleges affiliated with LTTC.

Anon is correct they are the both level, but just a couple of thoughts that may make it worth it. A Dip TESOL sometimes get mixed up with a Cert TESOL which is l

Has anyone else noticed just how arrogant CELTA graduates are? They act as if their 1 month course makes them ***'s of the ESL world. I have been an ESL/EFL professional for over 10 years and some of the best teachers I have had the pleasure to be colleagues with had no formal training. I can also say that some of the worst teachers I have worked with were CELTA grads. The paper may get you

Dave Phillips I don't recruit teachers but if I did, I would dream of employing one that had trained online.

Philip, was this a typo? Do you mean you would not dream of employing a teacher who had trained online?
