FAQs: Answered
-
Q: Will the course fit in with my life?
Absolutely! The course is designed to fit around you and your lifestyle.
The 120 hours’ TEFL online study can be completed at your own pace. You can access the course 24/7 so you can drop in and out when it suits you.
The 20 hours’ classroom time is completed over a single weekend and you can choose from a range of dates and locations to fit your schedule. Hosted over one weekend. You’ll be in the classroom between 9am – 6pm across Saturday and Sunday with a lunch break and tea and coffee breaks provided. -
Q: How soon before I’m teaching abroad?
Eager to pack the sunscreen and flip-flops? Well, the great news is you could be applying for jobs in as little as three months.
We find most people take four to six weeks to complete the online TEFL course. You can complete the classroom course at any point, it's totally up to you. Normally once people have passed they start applying for jobs straightaway. As soon as you find the perfect job, chuck your passport in your backpack and call a taxi to the airport! -
Q: How much grammar will I need to know?
Don’t let worries about grammar put you off. You’ll be teaching conversational English and we’re sure you’re already a natural when it comes to talking.
So if grammar leaves you cold, don’t sweat; you can still be a great teacher. -
Q: How long will it take to complete?
Most people complete the course within four to six weeks but if you need a little more time, that’s no problem. You’ll have access for 10 weeks.
The beauty is, you can work at your own pace. -
Q: Will I get feedback?
Yes! We believe feedback is really important, not only to check you’re on the right track but to give you confidence as you go along.
After submitting your work, it will be checked by our experienced TEFL tutors and you’ll receive great feedback and support as you’re progressing. -
Q: Where can I teach English abroad?
Anywhere where English isn’t already the first language. That’s a lot of places! So hit Google Maps and pick your dream destination. You could be there sooner than you think!
