Our 150-hour certificate course with live online teaching practice commences with a 120-hour online study section. Once complete, the online section is followed by six hours of real teaching practice, undertaken via a live online platform. Both sections of the course combine to give you an online TEFL certification that is highly regarded by employers in countries right across the world. One of the most popular features of the course is that the first section can be completed at any pace that suits your personal preference, up to a maximum of six months. Upon graduation you will also have access to our extensive career support services which will be available for as long as you require them.

Once you have completed your course application, you will be able to access your personal online course control panel. From here you can study the course materials directly online or download them to a computer, tablet or smartphone so you can study at any time that suits your lifestyle. Once you have worked through each individual unit you will need to complete an online test before moving on to the following unit. Once all the online units are complete, you then begin the teaching practice section of the course which can be taken in any one of three available time zones that best suits you.

This section of the course requires you to teach six lessons to real English language learners along with some additional study activities. Before you start the actual teaching sessions you will receive full training from your chosen training center regarding the learning platform and what to expect from the teaching phase. Upon completion of all six lessons you then submit the necessary documentation for review by the center. Once all required aspects of the course are successfully completed you will receive your 150-hour TEFL or TESOL certificate, which will indicate the completion of 6-hours of observed teaching practice.

Course Aims

The 150-hour course is designed to give you a comprehensive introduction to the world of Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL). Once you have graduated from the course you should have a good working knowledge of English grammar and a range of unique skills and techniques that will be invaluable in your future career as an English language teacher. On top of this, you will have completed six hours of observed teaching practice with real English language learners, an experience that is highly prized by employers across the world.

Course Content

The course is organized into two separate phases. Phase 1 is focused on the essential teaching skills required to be a successful teacher, such as teaching theories and methodologies, classroom management, lesson planning, and how to approach testing and evaluation in the classroom. This phase also looks at language awareness subjects, including essential grammar topics such as the parts of speech and the English tense system. Other subjects such as pronunciation and phonology are also included.

Phase 1 is conveniently divided into twenty individual units that have been carefully designed to build your knowledge slowly, without bombarding you with too much information in one go. The overall design of the course should allow you to work through the study materials comfortably at whatever pace you feel suits your personal situation.

Phase 2 of the course is all about teaching practice. You will be able to choose from one of the available time zones that best fits your location and existing commitments to carry out this part of the training. In order to undertake the teaching practice all you need is an internet connected device with a camera and microphone. The training center will have introductory sessions to make sure you are familiar with the technology before you start. First, you will watch the center training staff teach the same students you will teach for a minimum of two hours. Then your training center will conduct individual lesson planning sessions with you to ensure you know exactly what you need to teach during your own lessons. Finally, you will teach your own classes under the watchful eye of your teacher trainer who will also provide a full feedback session after every lesson.

The certificate you receive upon successful completion of both phases will show that you have completed a 150-hour TEFL or TESOL certification course which included a minimum of six hours of observed teaching practice.
