TESOL/TEFL Certificate for Online Teaching

For graduates of the TESOL/TEFL Certificate for Online Teaching program, Promise Opens Doors provides ongoing assistance in trying to find a teaching position online. This process starts even before a participant graduates, as Promise begins connecting our prospective teachers with our growing network of partner employers.
Since Promise Opens Doors is also an employer of online EFL teachers, our graduates also get first consideration for new positions when they become available.

This course is entirely self-paced and does not require a participant to be available at specific times and days. Grading is done by the LMS automatically, with the exception of a few more in-depth assignments which are graded by our instructors.
At any time, a Promise Opens Doors' instructor is available for consultation or questions.

For those enrolled in the 60-hour course with practicum, they will have to be able to set a specific schedule for when they do the teaching element. Class times are typically either evening times, or early morning Eastern Time.

For the 60-hour course, participants have up to 4 months to complete everything, including their teaching practicum. This means that on average, a participant should look to do at least 4 hours of work towards completing the course.

The 60-hour course costs $250, there is an additional $40 non-refundable registration fee.

No prior teaching experience is required to apply! We do recommend strongly though that applicants have at minimum a bachelor's or 2-year degree. Applicants without these are still able to find teaching positions, but they are fewer and far between!

This program is unique because it was written by the team here at Promise Opens Doors. Our organization is a pioneer in the field of real-time, online EFL instruction, having classes with students in South Korea since 2005. The methodology and techniques that are delved into in the certificate course have been continually refined over this period of time.

Additionally, unlike most other certificate programs which are offered by institutions, teaching practicum is part of our course. Simply put, there is no substitute for live practice. Our participants are able to apply the theory they learn in the course directly in the online classrooms that we run. And virtually every online TEFL employer will require a teacher to do a mock lesson or brief demonstration of their skills.

Our participants gain absolute confidence that what they are learning are applicable skills and techniques for the online classroom.

With accreditation in the works, our program is still as credible as they come. We have associations with numerous respected organizations in the TESOL industry, and this particular certificate is sponsored by our partner, Athena University.

This certificate trains and equips teachers with skills, techniques, and approaches to be used successfully in the online English as a Foreign Language classroom.

Experience has shown us that English as a second language classes taught in the online classroom best serve students between the junior-high to college age. The course is developed to train teachers to work with students in this age-group.

This 60-hour course requires a background check and for the participant to sign a teacher contract.
