We require 3 written references. Phone contact references are not acceptable for these contracts.
The schools don't like phone referees as language, time and cost barriers make it difficult for them to contact people in Australia.
These can be hand written or typed with signatures or emailed references without signatures.
They can be work or personal references and ATA TESOL Graduates can get one from the college if you are having trouble getting them elsewhere.
Just email scanned copies. Do not send originals, keep them in a safe place. Note: jpeg is probably the best file format to use
