The Online English Training (OET) Program is a specialized program for those who want to focus on the nature and dynamics of online English teaching and learning. While most traditional English teaching certification programs only discuss in passing information technology-based (i.e. online, virtual,distance) English teaching, the OET situates all the important concepts in an online/virtual context thus adequately preparing you to seize current and forecasted opportunities in English teaching.

If you think the world of online English teaching is for you (because you are mitigating the health risk due to the COVID-19 pandemic; you thrive in online interactions; you have relevant online work experience; etc), then the OET program can increase your chances of building a long-term, successful and profitable career in the online English teaching industry. The OET Program fills in important gaps which are not thoroughly discussed in most traditional degree or certificate programs on English language teaching. It also is where you can formulate your arsenal of useful strategies to deal with the ever-evolving world of online teaching.

The "what" we leave that up to you. That is basically what the Individual Module or Phase access are about. Individual Module Access is when you only opted to take a single module at a time. Phase Access is when you choose to finish a group of three modules at a time. If you want to save on fees and can commit to finishing the program, the ALL MODULE Access is your best option.

Please note that Individual Module Access option will only be available for the OET Program.

You will need to pass the requirements of your employer and there is a good chance that the certificate is included in your employer's qualifications checklist. Most likely you will find that compared to getting the certification, the other items on the list are easier to accomplish.

You have the choice to do online or face-to-face teaching only or combine these two and take advantage of blended English teaching jobs.

Landing a high-paying job is the result of so many other considerations apart from the certificate. It cannot be argued, however, that the certificate definitely gives you an advantage during the hiring process and the skills you developed as a result of taking the program will make you more efficient and effective as an English teacher, a necessary consideration for teachers given a higher than standard pay.
