question about length of time permitted for specialization courses

Hi,

I took the TESOL certification course in your Toronto office four years ago. I have had a job change since then and bought a new condo so have been super-busy the last few years and never did the two specialization courses.

I am now interested in getting back into learning about teaching English as a second language and really want to do these courses.

Is it too late to do them? I remember the instructor saying we could do them whenever we wanted, but four years later? I still have all the study materials with me.....

Please let me know asap.

Thanks!

Hello Diana,

you are welcome to finish your program. We like to encourage you to get certified and refresh and/or expand your knowledge of teaching English overseas. You as well have the opportunity to upgrade to a Diploma Program or to choose new specialization courses which would give you a new variety of teaching English.

I left a message by phone for you. Please call me in the Head Office 1-888-270-2941.

Regards,
Marthe

Hi Diana - I am in charge of the Toronto office for Global Tesol and have answered this type of question several times in the past few weeks! Marthe's suggestion of upgrading to a diploma is a great way to expand previous knowledge base with current thinking. Certainly if you were interested in even trying to do some teaching in Toronto to integrate theory and practicum, let me know. We have direct placements in public as well as private schools. You may email me at toronto@globaltesol.com or call 416-670-4281.

Hello,

I'm in the same boat as Diana! I graduated in 2004 as well, and I've been so busy with everything, that I had forgot all about my specialization course!

I have sent an email to Global Admin, I hope to hear from you soon!

Thanks,

Bill Brown

I am also in the same boat. How do you sign up for one of those specialization courses if you never did yours, and do you have to pay again.

Thanks,

I to did not finish my specialization courses and have the books but had signed up on line for them but am unable to navigate to them or are they just not there for me
thanks
