TEFL courses for all
One size does not fit all when it comes to TEFL/TESOL. This is why we have designed various course types for our diverse range of students. Whether you’re a qualified teacher or a complete beginner, there is something for everyone. From a 20-hour Weekend TEFL Course to our 140-hour Premier TEFL Course, we cater for the needs of our students.
It’s worth bearing in mind that the majority of TEFL employers abroad require potential employees to have passed a minimum of 120 hours of TEFL/TESOL training. If you’re looking to wow employers and open doors to the top EFL/ESL jobs, our Premier courses are definitely worth considering!

Our approach
It’s hands on! We believe that it’s so much more effective to be involved in practical activities rather than just listening to somebody lecturing at you.

The weekend course gives you the chance to create your very own TEFL lesson and deliver it to your peers. You will also be able to observe the rest of your class delivering lessons and have the opportunity to offer feedback to help them improve.
