    This international diploma is available for $1k. It will give you 9 graduate level ACE credits too!
    I think this type of credential can be helpful if you want to travel abroad and work there.

    This one is a diploma, not a certificate!

    Certificate < Diploma < Associate's Degree < Bachelor's Degree

    UP TO 9, but could only be 3, according to the link. Not sure if TESU allows for transferring in grad credits, but even if they do, I'd bet it'll be like how they handle the Google IT Support certificate for undergrads - they'll give only the minimum amount of credits.

    Many universities in the UK and Australia will give credit for a CELTA to students undertaking a Master of TESOL. This looks like a good US alternative to this (as the CELTA doesn't have the same recognition outside of Europe and Australia).

    The CELTA may not be as well known in North America but it is the most respected credential worldwide for teaching English as a foreign language. Employers really prefer it to anything else. The Trinity CertTESOL is comparable but usually comes in as second best to the CELTA.

    They also have the DELTA, which is a diploma level program. It is an even higher level program that you need several years experience before you can apply.

    Update: I got an email from them that their "Holiday Specials" are going to expire in 2 days - 48 hours. I noticed they have a couple of new courses that have ACE recommendation for credit, some remained the same, others have lost UL or graduate credit. Here's the list of them and the 'double dip kicker'...

    ACE Credit: Earn College Credit | Monthly Special: TEFL/TESOL Deals
    A) 6 Grad credits (previously 9): Bridge IDELTOnline™ | Graduate-Level TEFL/TESOL Certification
    B) 6 Upper-Level credits still: 120-Hour Online TEFL/TESOL Course - Master Certificate
    C) 3 Lower-Level credits each: TEFL Cert | 60 Hour Foundation or Advanced Methods
    4) 2 Lower-Level credits (new): TEFL Cert - Young Learners or Teens (young adults)

    What caught my eye is the Masters/Doctoral Pathway programs here: TESOL Pathway
    An example, ACE offers 6 credits towards their Master and Doctoral program for a double dip!
    For $995, you save over $1400 for the Master and over $2000 for the Doctoral program!
