TEFL Courses

Our online TEFL courses are entirely based on distance learning. The fundamental nature of our online courses is that there is no time spent physically in the classroom or with a tutor face-to-face. You will, however, through the use of online videos be able to watch actual teaching of English as a foreign language taking place and you will also have the option of completing teaching practice at no extra cost.

These courses are ideal for students who neither have the time and/or finances to attend a course on-site but who still wish to obtain our internationally renowned TEFL certificate. All our online TEFL courses also include the assistance of a personal tutor to ensure your training runs as smoothly as possible. The essential benefit of our online courses is that they are designed to be taken from any location in the world at whatever pace suits your own personal situation. They are also very competitively priced to ensure that they are accessible to everyone.

Combined TEFL courses bring together the best facets of the online and in-class TEFL certification courses. The theory side of TEFL is first studied online within your own time frame. This is followed by attendance at one of our combined course training facilities to gain practical classroom experience in teaching English.

Combined courses are primarily for students who do not appreciate the intensive nature of the longer four-week residential course, but would still like to gain some practical experience of teaching English as they learn.

Students who attend these courses may also not have the time to attend a four-week residential course.

The combined TEFL course includes all the components of an in-class course and therefore provides full TEFL certification.

Our in-class TEFL courses are based entirely at one of our international training facilities. Throughout the course you will be encouraged to teach English to real students on a practical level in the classroom. These courses are full time and last for four weeks.

Our training facilities are based in a large number of varied and interesting places worldwide, including Thailand, Egypt, the Philippines, Vietnam, China, Argentina, Costa Rica, England, the USA, Italy, Spain, France, and the Czech Republic.

This particular type of TEFL certification is perfect for students who wish to learn the principles, methods and application of TEFL by teaching English in a practical, on-site environment with professional support and supervision. Every practice session is overseen by our professionally qualified teacher training staff. This enables us to provide you with positive feedback and management of your progression through the course at every step.

The Diploma in TESOL is the most advanced qualification we offer. It is a 370-hour, exclusively online course which includes our standard 120-hour TEFL course to ensure you have all the basic skills and knowledge sorted before tackling the advanced diploma section of the course. The Diploma in TESOL course comes with the assistance of an online tutor throughout.

Our advanced level diploma course has been designed to build on the knowledge gained from your initial 120-hour qualification. You will be presented with advanced concepts and theories involved in higher level ESL teaching. The course requires you to provide your own insight and opinions on a variety of different subjects and you will also need to complete a considerable amount of independent research. The advanced nature of this course is fully reflected by the 370-hour average study time that is required for successful completion of the course.

Our Master Package is a great option for students who want to complete multiple certification courses. The package contains three of our most popular online courses: the 120-hour TEFL certification course, the 50-hour certificate in teaching business English (CTBE) and the 50-hour certificate in teaching English to young learners (CTEYL). All three courses come with the assistance of an online tutor for the duration of your studies and you will be offered the chance to complete additional teaching practice at no extra cost. You also have the option of receiving an individual certificate for each course that you complete, or a single 220-hour certificate that covers the whole course package.
