The Learning Center of Tuscany

Your initial application should be completed on the center's own internet
application form.

After successful application, you will be asked to pay a deposit of
USD$500 which is non refundable.

If for any reason you wish to subsequently cancel your place on the course
after your part or full fees (i.e. deposit plus balance) have been paid,
TEFL International cannot provide any refund except for exceptional
circumstances. The course organizer’s decision is final. In any case, the
deposit is non-refundable. The reason for this is that the staffing for
the course and accommodation have fixed costs which have to be paid for in
advance and based on a specific number of course members in the group. The
center cannot guarantee the replacement of course members who subsequently
drop out.

The balance of the course fee must be paid via credit card upon arrival at
the course. Cash payments can be made with prior approval through
enquiries@learningcentertuscany.com. Please contact the course organizer in
advance if you wish to make an alternative payment arrangement.

As part of our pre-screening process, applicants are requested to submit
an account of their personal history and background and of their motives
for joining the course, as well as their future aspirations. Inaccuracies
or fraudulent claims in the application are grounds for dismissal from the
course.

The course fee is based on your satisfactory completing all the course
assessments, including Teaching Practices, within the four weeks. If for
any reason you do not complete these satisfactorily within the period and
it is agreed that an extension of time or further Teaching Practices are
possible later, you will be liable to additional charges to cover
additional staff time. These are 35 euro for each Teaching Practice and 20
euro for each piece of written work. If you withdraw from the moderation
of your current course and wish to enter moderation on a later course, an
additional moderation fee must be paid.

Of the hundreds of courses we have offered, we have cancelled only three
courses. Cancellations are extremely rare. Yet, if for some reason we
cancel a course, we will offer trainees the following choices:

• A full refund
• Transfer to another course
• Priority enroll in a future course.

The TEFL International TESOL certificate is not graded and the final
certificate will usually be available on the last day of the course.

All course members are liable to the disciplinary regulations of the
center. The course director's decision is final and dismissal from the
course is not grounds for a refund.

TEFL International offers TESOL Certificate courses. Often extra
activities and services are also advertised. While the TESOL certificate
course will not significantly change in content, the extra activities and
services may change due to local circumstances.
