Course Summary
TEFL 170: Boost your online teaching career
Our 170 Hour Combined TEFL Course will give you all the same essential training as our 150 Hour Online TEFL Course – but with the added bonus of 20 hours of practical TEFL training too. Designed especially for those who want to teach English online (as well as abroad), this double-award course will provide you with 120 hours of fundamental TEFL learning on top of a dedicated 30-hour Add-On Course to help you learn to teach English online.
Whether you’re keen to start a career in online teaching, or you just want to gain some experience before jetting off to teach in far-flung TEFL destinations, this course will give you expert preparation for both! Created by our team of highly qualified TEFL tutors, the online portion will take place on our learning platform, which is accessible 24/7 from any device, allowing you to study flexibly around your lifestyle.
When it comes to the practical training, you’ll be able to choose a date and location that suits you. When you enrol, you can either choose the dates or opt for our flexi option, which allows you to choose a date later down the line. Simple! And you won’t need any teaching experience to get started – our courses are specifically developed for those who’re new to teaching, so we’ll take from TEFL newbie to pro in a matter of weeks. With the help of our experienced tutors who’re on-hand on emails, phone or our web chat service, you’ll be qualified and ready to start teaching before you know it.

How it works
Through the ease of access to the online portion of your 170 Hour Combined TEFL Course – right through to the flexibility of choosing your practical course venue and location, this training has been designed to fit in around any lifestyle.
As soon as you get enrolled, either online or over the phone, you’ll receive your confirmation email which contains the login details for your course. And it’s up to you whether you want to activate it and start learning straight away or leave it for a few months until you’ve got a bit more time on your hands.
Then, work through at your own pace, unit-by-unit, until you reach the Course Assessment section, where you’ll be given three attempts to pass the multiple-choice test and submit your own lesson plan with a supporting essay. Before you know it, you’ll be TEFL qualified and ready to start teaching!

What will I learn?
Designed for those new to TEFL, this Course will give you everything from the very basics to more in-depth aspects, to give you a well-rounded understanding of this unique form of teaching.
To break it down, you’ll cover:
- Lesson planning – You’ll get to grips with structuring your own lesson plans, knowing how to start with a warmer, move onto fillers and end with coolers.
- Lesson content – Following this, you’ll get into the topics you’ll be covering in your classes, how to teach these and using resources to illustrate your subjects.
- Classroom management – The practical aspect of TEFL teaching can be just as important as the theory. Learn how to control your class, manage behaviour and create a good teaching environment.
- Teaching English online – Starting with getting set up as an online English teacher, this add-on course will get you fully prepared to start your online teaching career.
