TESL Training [by Toronto District School Board]

Finally I decided to take the course. It is because I can't stand the tedious procedures of preparing a portfolio to convince the regulatory body that the MAs and PCEd trainings are sufficient. The unreasonable requests from them are that

1) I need to submit a half-page statement to summarie /ourline each module I took and
2) to supplement the course outline with a reference list, an assignment list and
3) to state what assessments the module required

Besides, there are lots of other documents I need to prepare. It may take 20 hours for me to produce a portfolio whereas doing the TESL training again will involve much longer hours

"Why can't they trust another TESOL training institute by reviewing their program details? "
"If the information is right on hand with me, what jobs are they supposed to do? "

I'd rather spend the money, attend further lessons to refresh what I leant about TESOL, know more colleauges who teach ESL classes. Why should I comply with a silly regulatory body?
