What are the differences between the sponsored and self-funded options?
(↑Back to Top) The self-funded option is the same as the sponsored option in that it includes a 160-hour TESOL certification course, free accommodations throughout the course (accommodations may be shared), free meals (lunch and dinner), transportation (when applicable), 20 hours of Mandarin Chinese classes, and additional Mandarin home study materials. We also offer job placement assistance. Our goal is to find you a job before the TESOL course finishes. The main differences are: Self-funded participants are responsible for paying their own tuition fees (US$1500) with flexible payment options. Self-funded participants are issued a TESOL certificate upon completion of the first month of training and receipt of all tuition fees. These teachers can upgrade this TESOL certificate to a TESOL Diploma after they have taught 500 hours for which we have received evaluations through their employer. We send these teachers` application packages to over 100 partner schools throughout China as soon
