The TESOL Training course of HCSI is a 120-hour course. It is designed to develop the teaching skills of the participant-student. It has two (2) main components: language skills and teaching skills.
The school has adopted two (2) types of TESOL/TEFL training: the on-site training and the online/distance course training. On-site trainings are conducted in the premises of Harvest Christian School International (HCSI) in Cebu City, Philippines while the online/distance course training is done at the home or workplace of the student at his/her own pace. The online/distance course training is offered because of the difficulty of some participants to attend and complete the course in an on-site environment as most of them are working professionals. Enrollment in the online/distance course training is anytime during the year. After completing all course module requirements, the participant-student will then be given a TESOL Certificate by Harvest Christian School International (HCSI) either in the school or in the mail.
