How it works
The 180 Hour TEFL Course might sound like you’d need to change your life to fit it in but this just isn’t the case. All the modules across this course are online so you can pick up your studies whenever you get some free time. And because you just need an internet connection to access the course you could be getting TEFL qualified on the move, on the sofa or on your lunch break.
With plenty of new topics covered across the course we’re sure you’ll have questions along the way which is why you’ll get constructive and helpful feedback from one of our expert tutors.
We want you to enjoy becoming a TEFL teacher as much as possible so you won’t find any boring lengthy essays or lectures. Instead you’ll be completing quizzes, watching videos with real-life classroom scenarios before rounding off your learning with an assessment.
