Affordable
The online courses are much more affordable than the onsite course
though the course content, evaluation and certification remain the
same.
Flexible
The Online TESOL gives you the option of studying at a time most
convenient for you. All materials and matter are either sent to you or
is accessible at the click of a mouse, so you do not have to be in
class at a given time nor leave school at a fixed time. You are the
master and the taught and you decide the most conducive time for your
self. However the course should be completed by four months from the
time you enroll.
How to get started
You will sign up for this certificate program by contacting us by
emailing at
admin@bestonlineteflcourse.com. You must have access to email to

Evaluation
As you complete each phase there are assignments to be completed and
sent online. The tutors evaluate the same and return it to you with
necessary feedback. It is a continuous evaluation system without a
formal examination at the end of the course. This helps you monitor
your progress and clarify any doubts that you may have.
As it may take some time to arrange for all the on-site visits,
students, class observations, etc. you should begin the planning
process early. Consider the academic schedule in your community and
when and how you will make the initial contacts.
If you wish and if you live close to an existing TEFL Education
training center in Thailand, you may contact the center director
(begin your inquiry with
admin@bestonlineteflcourse.com) to request permission to visit the
site to help you with your initial set-up. However, as this is a
self-access program, you are responsible to complete the work
independently.
Chat sessions can be arranged if you have any queries related to the
topic/chapter.
You can email your query, which will be answered within 24hrs by your
online tutor.
Finally you will receive your BETT certificate.
