I did the 60 hour couse, 30 hours online 30 hours in the classroom. The online coursework doesn't attempt to teach you how to teach, but rather to verify that your own English skills are up to scratch. Think high school English tests. It was very thorough although 30 hours is a massive overestimate for how long it should take. If you need 30 hours to complete it you probably shouldn't be teaching anyone. I attended the first day of the classroom sessions before deciding it wasn't for me. I was expecting to be taught teaching skills, instead I spent 3 hours role playing a English student. Their thinking behind this is that role playing a student will make you a better teacher. I asked our tutor what the plan was for the 3 days, a course overview which is usually done at the start of any course - she refused to tell me. I wasn't feeling this so I canceled the lessons. So glad I did, it felt like a massive waste of time and very cringey.
