hmmm.... (Questions About Schools)

In Response To: TESOL Certification (School News/Adverts) (TESOL Training)

I have some problems with this 'school'.

They call themselves an "online university" which is rather meaningless at best and deceiving at worst. A university is normally a government authorised body which has a ".edu" domain name. This appears to be just a title with no standing.

Secondly they're "accredited" by LATIE which is an accrediting agency set up by another online school because they couldn't or didn't want to get accrediting elsewhere.

Thirdly there are some major grammatical errors on their site which have rung some alarm bells. (Ok, we can all make typos but there are LOTS here.)

We are investigating this school in our ongoing research into online courses and will shortly be publishing our results.

Approach with EXTREME caution.
