How it works
Get a taste for what TEFL really involves and impress employers with this 20-hour TEFL course! This course, held on weekends at locations across the UK and Ireland, is full of hands-on practical activities. Delivered by one of our experienced tutors, the course will take you through how to plan, prepare and deliver lessons that are engaging for all learner levels and age groups.
Full of fun and practical activities, this course will give you the confidence to write and deliver your own lesson plans. You will also have the chance to deliver your lessons to your peers during the two teaching practices sessions.
Please note: we recommend taking this course in combination with a 120-hour Premier Online or 250-hour Level Online TEFL course. With most employers requiring teachers to have completed a TEFL course consisting of at least 120 hours of study, this will ensure you’re in the best position for finding work.

What our graduates say
The lessons were great- I liked being able to re-take quizzes if I didn't get all the questions correct. I also liked all the amazing resources available. Also, tutors were really quick to grade assignments, and gave very good feedback.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Is 20-hour classroom certification enough?
A. 120 hours is the industry standard and what most employers look for, so we recommend combining this course with a 120-hour Premier Online or Level 5 course.
Q. How many modules are in the 20-hour classroom course?
A. The weekend course has 19 units, from warmer sessions to lessons on how to find English teaching work overseas. Please consult the ‘Module Breakdown’ tab for more information.

A. Yes, of course! You will have access to our online forum where you can chat with other students on the same course as you. You can also join our Facebook group where you can share resources and find information on teaching English abroad and online.
Q. Is there a payment plan for course fees?
A. You’ll need to pay the full balance before starting your course, but we do offer flexible payment options. If you’re based in the UK, you can spread the cost over 3–4 interest-free instalments with Clearpay. UK and some EU customers can also use Klarna at checkout, which offers a similar pay-in-instalments option. If you prefer, PayPal sometimes provides the option to split payments over 3 months, allowing you to get started right away. For combined or classroom/virtual courses, you can also reserve your place with a deposit if you're outside of the UK, with the balance due two weeks before your course date.
