ndelcollo Wrote:So am I understanding correctly that you can still take a TECEP to avoid the Liberal Arts capstone ($130ish vs $1500ish?) but you can no longer test out of the residency waiver? Also, is the residency waiver for both a BS and a BA? I would prefer a Liberal Arts degree but the extra $1500 turned me off to it and I had decided on the BSBA for financial reasons.
The Liberal Arts Capstone (actually every capstone except the BSBA one) has to be taken at TESU for $1500. The Business capstone (Strategic Management) is available as a TECEP exam for $114.
The $2,000 residency waiver is for ALL degrees (including an AA).

I see so many people lately coming on this forum with the same goal. Is teaching English overseas lucrative?

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.
Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.
Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.
Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.
Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.

If it was, that's Ofqual Level 5, which is similar to American associate degree level. If you went through another school, we could look it up.
It wasn't a Cambridge CELTA. It was through

Online testing is the way to go, as mentioned by the majority of your replies... I am not sure if your neck of the woods have any testing locations if you don't provide us your location.
You can work on your AS and then ladder up to a BSBA. It all depends on what you want to do.
You can review the degreeforum.wikia.com for degree plans and info on getting started.
Cam On!
You're right, I am in Vietnam. Thanks for your advice!

Hey Prloko, glad to have a question I can answer in this thread. Teaching english in other countries won't make you rich, especially if you're doing it in Latin America, or Western Europe. Yet, in much of Asia you could easily bank $1,000 a month working modest hours and living a good life.
It's not something to get into merely for money, but it leaves you some money for saving each month. It's an OK gig for an older person, but it's an
excellent job for a young hustler. Work 20-25 hours a week (perhaps 5-10 hours more commuting, depending on the job), have the opportunity to save money each month, experience life in another country/countries, and still have lots of mental energy for side hustles.

Thanks for replying. It sounds like something fun for a young person to do, but also sounds dangerous.
