Teaching Certification Online

Beth Said:

How can I get certified to teach an online course? Help?

We Answered:

There is no online teaching certification that is valid between institutions. I've seen a few web sites that sell you training in online teaching, but that's not the same thing.

If you are certified to teach and want to teach students in the field or level for which you are certified, you'll need to find some online sites that are hiring. Start with a search for online schools in your state (because of the certification issue) and look at their hiring information.

(Note: Pay attention to whether you will be an employee or self-employed. Self-employed means about 1/4 of your pay goes to taxes, social security, etc.)

I know there are many opportunities for certified teachers, especially at the high school level.

If your current teaching post has any opportunities for teaching online (even if it's an adult ed, non-credit course), grab one. It will be useful experience. Most online colleges (I've taught at 3) run their own training programs for online instructors. I don't know if the K-12 schools do that as well.

Best of luck!

TEFL Certification for teaching English abroad: online or on-site?

We Answered:

Firstly about Europe. If you do not have a European passport (e.g. British or Irish) then don't think about working here as your potential employer will have to jump through hoops to get you a visa and 99.9% of them just aren't going to do that unless you are an exceptional teacher with exceptional qualifications.

Regarding qualifications, the basics are a degree and TEFL certificate. For most entry level jobs it really doesn't matter which certificate and online ones are fine for many jobs. The link below goes to an independent review of online courses with reviews written by former students. The ICAL course comes second in the list but is half the price of Alaya.

Is there any online educator certification program?

We Answered:

I think you just need a regular teaching certificate. Check with University of Maryland, University College or another popular online college (Phoenix); they should know the answer for you.
