TEFL course outline

We offer both the full 4-week TEFL course and a brand new 2-week TEFL course where the focus is on making you a good teacher, not selling you a course that you could buy in a bookshop for a 10th of the price. Yes, it’s much more expensive, and yes, you do get what you pay for.

Even courses that are more expensive than us advertise that you’ll earn the course money in less than a year. We don’t need to tell you that again.

Our TEFL course has a practical emphasis and deals primarily with the real skills and knowledge needed to teach abroad. Whilst the course timetable may vary slightly from location to location, the content will usually remain the same.
