Entrance Requirements
The minimum education requirement for the course is a high school diploma and proficiency in spoken and written English. Though a high school diploma is the minimum requirement, you will need to demonstrate an ability to complete college-level course work and the maturity to participate in an intensive academic and practical training program. If English is not your native language, you will need a TOEFL score of at least 550 on the pen-and-paper exam or 213 on the CBT. If you've taken the TOEFL iBT, a score of 79 is sufficient.
As with any program, we can only accept participants we believe will be successful in the course. For the SIT TESOL Certificate Course for English Language teachers, we seek candidates we believe will also be successful as teachers of English to speakers of other languages. In addition to the education requirement, we seek candidates who show an interest in and a commitment to teaching ESL or EFL and have a positive attitude toward experiential learning and working in groups. These requirements will be assessed by the program administrator through the application and telephone interview.
