X-Listprocessor-Version: 6.0c -- ListProcessor by Anastasios Kotsikonas Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit Content-type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Status: O Content-Length: 1628 Lines: 38 Unless the organization you teach for requires (state) certification, TOEFL doesn't require instructors to be certified. From my own experience teaching for/to that test, an instructor needs to understand paper and pencil formats, test taking strategies as well as be familiar with the question types. Having a good sense of your student/s' needs before commencing will help guide your syllabus. Good luck!
