ICAL
ICAL is an online TESL/TEFL Certificate course provider. It is based entirely online and has been providing courses in the field of professional development for over 12 years.
ICAL was formed in 1998 by a group of teacher trainers who were both disappointed with the quality of new teachers they had met but were also enthusiastic about the idea of utilizing modern technology to deliver quality training.
The original founders were teacher trainers based in Australia, the UK and the USA and had met both socially and professionally in the years before.
The original organisation was called The International College of Applied Linguistics and the first course was written as a collaborative effort by the founders.
At that time "ICAL" was used as a shorthand acronym for the full name. However in 2000 "ICAL" merged with another group of online teacher trainers who were disappointed with and disaffected from the company they were working for at the time.
The courses were entirely re-written and new administrative software was purpose built to handle the ever growing number of students taking the course.
The resultant collaboration was called ICAL - no longer an acronym, with the old name being dropped entirely.
