TEFL Online

All you need to get started…

TEFL Online is a comprehensive teacher training course that will prepare you for a teaching job in countries around the world. The course takes about 60 hours to complete, but can be done at your own pace and on your own time. Depending on how quickly you work, within one to six months you’ll have your internationally recognized online certificate and be ready for an English teaching position overseas.

TEFL Online consists of 12 modules covering ESL/EFL teaching basics, video tutorials, open-book review quizzes, and written assignments for each module. Additional sections include a glossary of terms, a resource library for teachers, and a guide to getting a job overseas. Upon enrollment in the TEFL Online, you will be assigned your own personal tutor who will grade your assignments and help guide you through the course.
