08 December 2008 Global Crossroads None
of their centres are neither known, visited nor accredited by IATQuO http://www.globalcrossroad.com/tefl/tefl_course_accreditation.php http://www.globalcrossroad.com/tefl/tefl_in_shanghai.php http://www.globalcrossroad.com/tefl/tefl_in_ghana.php http://www.globalcrossroad.com/tefl/tefl_in_india.php http://www.globalcrossroad.com/tefl/tefl_in_kenya.php http://www.globalcrossroad.com/tefl/tefl_in_mexico.php http://www.globalcrossroad.com/tefl/tefl_in_nepal.php http://www.globalcrossroad.com/tefl/tefl_in_spain_madrid.php http://www.globalcrossroad.com/tefl/tefl_in_tanzania.php http://www.globalcrossroad.com/tefl/tefl_in_vietnam.php None of the above
mentioned centres have been visited nor accredited by IATQuO. Certificates
obtained through TEFLInternational since February
2005 are not accredited by IATQuO
except the courses delivered by Rome, Barcelona and Phuket
until mid 2006. Prospective trainees must be made aware
that some courses are sold under different names, so when they fail to sell under one banner they are being advertised under another
one. If a
validation body has no name, no address, no telephone, no link and when you cannot communicate with
its “members” beware: this is a scam! IATQuO
certificates are all numbered, engraved and we keep a record
of all names dates and numbers We
get more calls and e-mails from employers, checking up with us, even if the certificates are several years old A
very interesting forum This letter is provided to all those who contact the
University of Washington to ask about references to the University of
Washington on websites selling TEFL International products. To read quickly as that type of postings tends to
disappear very quickly. If you know of others please let us know A
website that can be of great help for
prospective teachers For the record and for
employers
