Course Qualification:
This course enfranchises graduates to teach EFL to juniors only in recognised EFL schools. This course does not enfranchise graduates to teach EFL to adults, it is not possible to ‘top up’ or add on to this course in order to enfranchise graduates to teach EFL to adults.

The Supervised Teaching Component (STC):
Upon successful completion of the above course components participants will be issued with a certificate, however graduates should be aware that they are required to undertake and pass a supervised teaching component (STC) as part of the course. This STC must be completed within three years of the receipt of the ‘course’ certificate. The STC normally takes place in the candidate’s first teaching post in a recognised school/institution.

The recognised school / institution is required to provide direction, monitoring and evaluation of the teacher’s performance by their DOS / principal/senior ELT professional who will complete, sign, stamp and return the STC form to the teacher who will copy the form and send that copy to ACELS for full recognition and registration. The preparatory certificate in ELT (SQT) will not be deemed to be complete until this STC component has been completed.
