Anyone did a TESOL cert online/distance learning?

No, BUT I've worked for many schools that would ONLY hire teachers who did in-class certificates that included supervised teaching practice.

He'll need a TESOL certificate which can be obtained in the US (same certification for USA/Canada).\n\nHere's some info:\n\nhttp://www.globaltesol.com/

I don't think there are any online courses. You know if you want to save 10 months of school and $9000 dollars (that's what it is in Arizona anyway), you can just study some pharmacy technician books and take the National Certification Test on your own. If you pass you'll become a certified pharmacy technician (CPhT). That's what I did. I was 18, had no money, so I studied all one summer and took the test (which was three hours long!) and passed. Just thought I'd let you know, save you some time and money. Go to this website to register.

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of reputable colleges that offer distance learning education leading to a teaching certificate.  First, which state's teaching certificate do you hope to earn?  Go to that state's department of education home page and look for certification requirements.  Many states will include a list of colleges with state-approved programs.  You can also try inserting keywords into your browser's search engine like "new jersey secondary certification distance education" or something similar.  You will get tens of thousands of hits.  I would then go to the advanced preferences setting and limit my search to .edu domains.  There are many books at Amazon that you could purchase that feature guides to online degrees.   Be sure to get one that is no more than a year old.  Major universities around the nation, and zillions of smaller ones, are adding new routes to certification via distance ed. And many programs are far cheaper than traditional, in-person schools.  No room and board!  No lab or health clinic fees!  No parking stickers!  But the VERY most important thing?  Make absolutely sure that the institution is fully accredited by a recognized accrediting board!  If the school isn't accredited, all your hard work and money will be wasted!!  Good luck--I personally think distance ed is the wave of the future in education.  I am working on a Master's degree in Science Ed--in my jammies!

Depends on the subject.  There is always a need for TESL (Teaching English as a Second Language) teachers around the world.  You need to get TESL certification and then choose a country or program that would place you.  I've listed some sites below that should help.  Good luck!

Certainly ... the course is free and your reason for doing it is totally personal.  Many on line courses can be quite helpful.

I teach online at an accredited school (make your school is accredited or your classes/degree will be worthless) and I've taken classes as well.\n\nJust like traditional classes, each teacher is different and will have her or his own policies:  some will require you to log on for a minimum number of days each week, others will specify which days you are to take exams, and others are even more flexible by allowing you to complete the course at your own pace.\n\nLike the first answerer stated, the responsibility to manage your own schedule is paramount:  this is where a lot of students get into trouble.  Unlike the traditional class, you don't have to be in class on a particular day or time, so it is easy to decide to log in later--and before you know it, you've fallen behind and there is no way to catch up.  That's the biggest problem I've seen as an instructor.  Lectures are given online, so there is actually more reading in the online class than there is in the traditional class.  Some instructors will have multimedia presentations and demonstrations, so you will have to be sure that you have all the relevant software from the start of the semester or quarter--your instructor should provide a list for you.\n\nMy advice is to keep a regular schedule for when you will log on and work on the class; keep to a study schedule as well; if possible, submit work early since it is so easy to fall behind; and be sure to connect with other students in class--usually, there is a discussion board set up for that and classmates often help each other out which makes more enjoyable and can help you with mastering the content.\n\nLastly, expect that on occasion there will be technologoy glitches, e.g., either the school's server will go down, or there will be a problem with your computer.  This is another reason to submit work early so that you are not panicking while trying to get an assignment in at the last minute.\n\nI hope that is helpful!  All the best to you!

I don't know about taking a class online, maybe try and call one of the schools that does it and advertises all the time on TV they probably have online classes or may know of one.....If you get a job with a pharmacy a lot of times they pay for your training and tech test...although it is a LOT easier to get hired if you're certified....Good luck...also look at www.ptcb.org that is the Pharmacy Tech Certification Board...Thats all you really need to do is take the test...the "schooling" is a crock of shit.

I found the 8-CD course by Michel Thomas to be fantastic. From zero to conversational Spanish in a week - just playing the CDs in the car on my way to and from work.\n\nEven the 2-CD basic course gives you enough to get by on holiday (with a bit of arm-waving, pointing and English thrown in)\n\nHe also does German, French, Italian,...

I have taken an online course.  Although I received an A, I found that I missed the live interaction of a classroom setting.  So I went back to traditional classes.

Most quality certificate programs will take you about a year to complete if you already have your bachelor's degree.  You can search for schools that offer a TEFL or TESOL certificate.  (TESOL = teaching English to speakers of other languages)  Actually, you can probably get a job teaching English in another country right now, but you don't necessarily want to work for places that would hire people without a certificate.  Plus, as an English major, you most likely didn't learn the English linguistics or teaching skills necessary to teach English to non-native speakers.\n\nWhether you have fun, of course, is up to you and is probably dependent on whether TESOL/TEFL is really a good fit for you.\n\nWelcome to the English language teaching profession!

I wasn't aware this was available online. Is there a homeschooling group in your area that would have resources? Otherwise you may need to go to the local high school or community college to take the tests.

I'm a British TEFL teacher - currently in my third year.  Basically there are 2 recognisable qualifications - either Cambridge CELTA or Trinity TESOL.  The two courses are pretty much identical.  I took the Trinity TESOL.\n\nI'd also recommend taking the qualification abroad - there are lots of options for this these days - I chose Barcelona.\n\nGood luck!
