  EdX Information Literacy count to 15 in house credits?
Posted by: Cookbecomeingnerd - 09-25-2025, 12:20 PM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (5)

Hey there

So Im assuming it wont, but does anyone know if the EdX TESU: Information Literacy (yes I know its only works for the BACS) would count to the 15 in house credit min?  It being a TESU class offered through EdX makes me thing there might be a small chance it is.

Does anyone have info one way or another?

  Level 5 TEFL Diploma - £120
Posted by: Kalas - 09-25-2025, 11:11 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (9)

TEFL Full Circle has been pushing a Level 5 Diploma (almost the equivalent of an American Associate's Degree but not quite, I think) to everyone on the mailing list for 6 payments of £19.99 for a little while. It appears to be an ongoing offer as I've been getting these emails ever since it was introduced. The "regular price" is £300 and it's on sale on the website for £250. 
https://www.teflfullcircle.com/courses/p...l-diploma/ 

I assume starting a checkout and not paying will get you on the mailing list if the system is smart enough to know that you "shouldn't" have access to the lower price here: https://bestoffer.teflfullcircle.com/for...-uk-users/

TEFL Full Circle is accredited by ACCREDITAT, a UK accreditation outfit that specializes in TEFL/TESOL schools registered with the UKRLP. The Diploma is issued by Gatehouse Awards and Ofqual vouches for it being Level 5. TEFL Full Circle claims it is the equivalent of holding a Foundation Degree (approxx. UK equivalent of an Associate's degree?) and a CELTA. Gatehouse Awards appears to be a real TEFL/TESOL school that offers in-person and online credentials that top out at Level 5. I'm inclined to to think the Ofqual makes it at least as valid as something from an American community college but someone that knows more is welcome to chime in and possibly confirm/deny whether UKRLP overseeing an accreditation body has any real value. AFAIK this hasn't gone through whatever the process is to get ECTS tied to it, it's just the Level 5 Diploma.

For the quality of TEFL Full Circle, I did the 160 hour course a couple years ago. I did it over 2 days so my completion time was closer to 16 hours than 160. It was...fine. I already had a couple years teaching Microsoft IT and CompTIA courses so I could probably teach the classes, but I'm not sure if I would say it's enough preparation for someone with no classroom teaching experience of any kind. For the Black Friday price of 20 quid and having every other course/40 hour certificate that was available at the time as a free bonus, I really can't complain. The best training money can buy? No. Is the Diploma a good value for money? Yeah, probably.

  Are Bus 210 and Com 210 not the same thing?
Posted by: cclocks8 - 09-24-2025, 12:49 PM - Forum: UMPI - University of Maine at Presque Isle Discussion - Replies (3)

I'm to the point of enrolling for classes for the Fall 2 session and working with the "New Student Enrollment Specialist." 

I did workplace communication at Sophia, which transferred in as Bus 210 organizational communication. Ny degree plan shows I need Com 210, but the course descriptions are exactly the same, and all reviews for the course have it listed as Bus 210/Com 210... Anyone know what is up with that?

  Ai Research Trainer for those with a bachelor's or higher
Posted by: TINASAM - 09-24-2025, 12:16 PM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (1)

New posting, $35-40 an hour, short term project, for those that have a bachelor's degree or higher.
AI Generalist

I normally wouldn't post this, but it seems very straightforward and I got on quite easily. Expecting a good payout. I know everyone here has degrees out the wazoo and could get on. It isn't scammy, as I wouldn't pass that on to this group that has helped me get the degrees I have.

I don't know this organization, so this isn't an endorsement of them. Plus, they may be looking for something different from what we do here. 

But, well, I saw this, and these are tough times, so I thought I'd share it just in case.

  TESU BACS or BSTS planning advice
Posted by: filic46 - 09-24-2025, 01:04 AM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (2)

Your Location: Slovakia
Your Age: 42
What kind of degree do you want?: BACS or BSTS?
Current Regional Accredited Credits: 134.5 + 9? see below (only C and better courses) 
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits:
Any certifications or military experience?:NA
Budget: $7000 this could be more once I will start job however I will have less time to study
Commitments: fulltime job in 3months, 
Dedicated time to study: next 3 months full time student afterwards 15-20 hours a week.
Timeline:4-6 months finishing most of the needed courses asap
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: NA


Some background, I have studied abroad (Europe - EU) and have already my WES transcript at hand, see courses below (only C and better). I have applied to TESU and sent transcript from WES already for evaluation. I have already taken 3 courses via TEL education: College Algebra, Introduction to IT, Music appreciation so I have 9 credits from MID-American Christian University and want to use them to waive TOEFL requirement for international students.
I have studied SW engineering at Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology so I have Engineering and CS courses, however I am missing a lot of general education courses. I am aware that I need to take English COMP I+II, Public Speaking, and probably American Gov. + American History I at least. I would like to ask what would be fastest way to achieve BACS (or BSTS)?. From what I see at TESU site BACS would need additional Data Structures and BSTS Introduction to Statistics and Project Management, besides other courses that I am not aware of now (awaiting evaluation). What would be the best approach to take missing general education courses which provider should I use and what are the effortless options for them.

My aim is to finish one Bachelor's degree and go for Masters in Cybersecurity at TESU (not sure if someone has experience with this one). I am currently working in cybersecurity. After finishing Masters degree I might want to go back to finish second Bachelor's degree if it is worth the effort. 

Some more background:
I like Math and Science. For me it is very tedious to learn something like Music appreciation/Philosophy, however I have very good memory and can get through it if needed (my morale is suffering however). I like TEL education approach with lot of tests/quizzes. I don't mind proctored test however it is nice perk if it is not needed. I am very detailed oriented so writing is taking me ages ( it needs to be perfect ...).
Thank you for your help.
