20 Hour Classroom Course
Kick-start your TEFL career with this action-packed classroom course, which takes place across just one weekend. One of our experienced native English-speaking tutors will guide you through the basics of teaching English, from classroom management to lesson planning.
The weekend will culminate in you planning and delivering your very first English lesson: great practice for when you actually start teaching yourself. It’s a brilliant option if you want to get TEFL certified in just two days, or if you want to boost your classroom confidence by putting TEFL theory into practice.
