Level

This is a preliminary course. However participants should possess a good level of written English. The standard of written work should be comparable with that on intensive TEFL courses which include teaching practice.
Time
There is no time pressure to complete the course. You work at your own pace in conjunction with your tutor. Most people take four to five weeks to complete the course. Some take over a year. The choice is yours.
Tutors
On enrolment you will allocated a tutor who will assess your work but also offer you help and encouragement. he or she will answer your questions and

 

Assessment

Assessment is based on the quality of the written assignments as determined by your tutor. Borderline cases will be passed to another tutor for moderation. Participants are expected to show an understanding of the basic issues covered by the course and an awareness of the problems faced by language learners.

 

The Certificate

The certificate is awarded on a straightforward pass or fail basis and will be dispatched within ten days of our receiving your final assignment. The Certificate is printed on 'aged' gold paper and posted to you at the end of the course in a hard backed A4 envelope along with references and final assessment. Anyone failing to reach the required standard will be offered the opportunity to resubmit assignments at no extra cost. This will only be offered once.

 

Support

Throughout the course you can contact your tutor by e-mail for advice about teaching or employment matters. Support now continues following completion of the course.

 

Other Services

We hope that once you have completed the course you will keep us informed of your address and contact numbers. This will enable us to send you information about our other services and EFL news garnered from teachers around the world. We occasionally have exclusive recruitment information for schools in Japan and elsewhere. Information about these vacancies is sent to all Norwood English Certificate holders.
