TEFL Programme< TEFL Certificate

All our TEFL courses have the same contents and overall length but in order to adapt to your work schedule and your specific needs, we have devised different options:

New option: blended learning = 60% online + 40% face to face 

In a three-month window period, you will cover the three components of our TEFL Certificate. The self-study component (Module 1) and the Input Sessions (Module 2) will be uploaded on a moodle platform, comprising materials for 6 weeks each, the Teaching Practice component (Module 3) will be agreed with each participant to meet everybody's needs in the best possible way but it will start after the 9th Session of Module 2.

Specially designed for native speakers who want an immersion programme to start a new career or for those who would like to become professional in teaching in a short period of time. This intensive course will take you in only twenty days to the doorstep of a classroom with a wealth of knowledge and an eagerness to put it all into practice.

For further information see Course Contents

Option A - At your own pace!

– Input sessions: 6 weeks, 3 times a week, 3 sessions p/ day.

- Recieve the self-study pack when you enrol and start getting ready for the course.

- Teaching practice: You choose when to start but you have to finish between week 8 and week 12 (you decide when and how long it will take you to do the teaching practice).

Ideal for practising and non-practising teachers who want to become more professional or want to improve their teaching skills. For those who choose a more relaxed course with more consolidation time or who due to work constraints cannot devote the whole day/ week to their training course, this programme allows you to acquire and put into practice all the information you require to be a professional teacher with the guidance of a tutor at a relaxed and enjoyable pace.
