Online TEFL Course Aims

For a full course in teaching English as a foreign language, our 100-hour TEFL course is a good option. Completion of this course will give you knowledge of the teaching skills and English grammar needed in order to operate effectively in the classroom.

For a more basic introduction to the world of teaching English as a foreign language, our 50-hour course would be a good choice. This course concentrates on the teaching skills needed in the classroom.

Before choosing this course, please bear in mind that some employers require their teachers to have a minimum of a 100-hour TEFL certificate.

Online TEFL Course content

We have developed the 100-hour course to give a complete insight into teaching English as a foreign language.

With this course you will cover both the teaching skills and classroom management techniques that are needed to teach effectively in the classroom. You will also cover the most commonly taught elements of English grammar. We have carefully structured the course around twenty modules of study that will allow you to learn at your own pace, without swamping you with information.

The 50-hour course covers teaching skills and classroom management but does not include the modules on English grammar.

(* units not included in our 50-hour course)

The modular design of the course has been developed to allow for maximum time flexibilty.

You have a maximum of six months to complete all course modules. We believe that the maximum number of modules that can be comfortably assimilated in one day is two, as each module requires about five hours of study. This would mean that theoretically, depending on which course you choose, you could complete it within five to ten days.

We would suggest that something between these maximum and minimum times would be more beneficial, allowing yourself the time to fully absorb the information in the course modules, but not taking so long that you forget the content of the initial course units.

However the choice of the speed at which you work is entirely yours.
