Detailed Description
The Graduate Diploma in Teaching (GradDipT) is primarily designed for practicing non-education teachers or any graduates who wish to get certified to be able to teach in Thailand starting 2010. The Diploma can also be used for those who desire to teach abroad such as the USA. This is a graduate level diploma as designated by its title. Depending on the need of the student, this program is presently offered in either two delivery modes: face-to-face and modular. The face-to-face delivery mode is held in Bangkok at St. Robert's Management and Training Center. The modular delivery mode is "tri-media", meaning video lecture, on-site mentoring and online mentoring.
The courses in GradDipT are transferable or credited toward Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT), major in English. It means that the GradDipT is "ladderized" toward non-thesis MAT (accepted for PhD under the new regulation) with additional 18 units, and in turn can also be "ladderized" toward Master in Management, major in Educational Management (MMEM) or Master in Business Administration (MBA) with an additional trimester (about four months).
