Will-Excel TESOL Diploma Self-Funded Apply Now
Teachers who do not qualify for sponsorship, who choose to pay their own tuition, or who apply when all sponsored positions
have been filled, may still participate in our TESOL course through the self-funded option.
What are the differences between the sponsored and self-funded options?
The self-funded option is the same as the sponsored option in that it includes a 160-hour TESOL certification course, free accommodation throughout
the TESOL course (accommodation may be shared), free meals (lunch and dinner), transportation (when applicable), 20 hours of Mandarin Chinese classes, and
additional Mandarin home study materials. Self-funded participants also receive job placement assistance.
- Self-funded participants are responsible for paying their own tuition fees ($1500 USD). These teachers pay a non-refundable registration fee of US$500 upon being accepted into the TESOL course. The teacher then pays the
remaining tuition (US$1000) one month before the TESOL course start date.
- All self-funded participants are issued a TESOL Diploma after they have taught 500 hours for which we have received evaluations from their employer.
- We send these teachers` application packages to over 100 partner schools throughout China as soon as they arrive in Harbin for TESOL training.
As it is the teachers' responsibility to choose their own employer, they may also decide to apply to other schools with which they would like to work. Our
goal is to find these participants a job before the TESOL course finishes.
