Our accredited, combined TEFL/TESOL course connects online training with a teaching practicum. First, you study the principles and theories of how to teach English online at your own pace. After completion of the theory part, you then attend one of our training centers for eight days of practical teaching of actual EFL/ESL students. The program comprises 170 hours. Adding the free specialization, the program hours amount to 220. This course is ideal for those people who wouldn’t be able to participate in an onsite TEFL/TESOL course but would like to get real teaching practice (something a lot of schools want to see, especially when they pay in the upper salary range). And there are a lot of countries out there that actually require proof of the teaching practicum to be able to issue a work visa.
As the combined TEFL/TESOL course contains only eight days of attendance at a TEFL training center, it is also more suited to those who aren’t able to learn how to teach English in a four-week, onsite TEFL/TESOL course for various reasons–whether it be the budget or lost hours at a job. The combined TEFL course features the same training components as the four-week onsite program and results in 120-hour TEFL/TESOL certification. Just like the in-class training, the combined program is credit bearing. If you wish to continue to an MA in Education, you can do so.
Graduates of our combined TEFL certification programs receive one specialization course of their choice free of charge. Available 50-hour online specializations are Teaching Business English, Teaching Young Learners, or Teaching TOEFL Preparation. Being specialized means that you may earn more money right from the start.
As all our courses, the combined TEFL program comes with full career support. We help you prepare your resume/CV and cover letter. We provide you with school and recruiter information. We even supply you with actual job leads as they reach our school. All students who wanted to work right after their TEFL training have landed a job rather quickly. TEFL jobs abound around the world. The key to a great job is that you prepare yourself thoroughly for the assignments ahead. Every school wants to have the best of the best. We make sure that we give you this opportunity to become the best of the best. The rest is in your hands.
