2. Teaching experience

For all the courses in TEFL (Master, Diploma, Certificates) a minimum of one years teaching experience in ELT at any type of institution or in private tuition, is recommended. For the Certificates, if the candidate has no previous teaching experience, he/she may be asked to do an entrance exam before being admitted onto the course.

3. Linguistic requirements

All candidates who are non-native speakers of English will have to provide evidence of having passed one of the following exams:

o Cambridge:
- Cambridge FCE (First Certificate) - grade A. (Grade B or C requires the entrance exam to be taken)
- Cambridge CAE (Advanced) or CPE (Proficiency) - any pass grade
o TOEFL:

There are 2 versions of this exam:

- Written version: a minimum of 550 points is required.
- Computer based version (CBT=Computer Based Test) is out of a total 300 points - a minimum of 230 points is required.

o Michigan Test:

ECEP (Examination for the Certification of Proficiency in English) - a pass. The Michigan ECCE (Examination for the Certification of Competency in English) is not accepted since the level is too low.

If the candidate does not have any of the above-mentioned certificates, and if he/she is not a native English speaker, then he/she will have to sit the entrance exam. English certificates from any other language schools will generally not be accepted, but may still be submitted for evaluation by the tutors on the course. If no consensus is reached regarding the qualification, the candidate will have to sit the entrance exam.

o Anyway, having English as an L1 doesnt presuppose that a student has the linguistic level that this Masters demands. So, as a last resort, the companys management team of this programme can demand that the candidates pass a test that proves that they possess the level required.
