• Online Dip TEFL Course Aims

  Expand

  The aims of the course are primarily two-fold.

  Firstly by understanding the background to educational theories (the why) you will gain a greater understanding of your role as a teacher (the what).

  Secondly the diploma will develop a whole range of transferable skills, from essay construction to internet research techniques, that can be applied to your teaching career and outside interests.

  Feedback from our diploma graduates show that these two aims are met by successful course participants.
