    Course provider history
    There are two types of TESOL distance-training course: 'free-standing programmes', where the whole course is carried out at a distance, and 'hybrid courses', where there is an additional element of face-to-face study including teaching practice. Some might perhaps imagine that a distance course is in some way inferior to a presence-taught course or course delivered in person at the centre, but this is most definitely not the case. Distance learning can prove extremely advantageous. The opportunity to follow a very substantial course of professional training at a fee usually lower than normal. Those seeking an internationally recognised professional TESOL qualification are faced with a variety of decisions. Which courses are formally accredited? What type of course will be best? Full-time study or distance-training? So let me list just 8 good reasons to study on a part distance part onsite intensive.    (listed below)
