ONLINE TEFL COURSES

Online TEFL courses

Online courses are designed to give you an insight into the world of TEFL and are helpful if you are not able to take time out of work or get to a certain location to join in a face-to-face course. Online TEFL courses are also some of the cheapest courses available. The course’s great popularity is largely down to its universal accessibility and professional presentation.

Whilst these cannot be compared directly with 3 or 4-week intensive courses, they do enable you to gain a useful and insight into TEFL, and in countries where the there is a lower minimum requirement for the qualifications of teachers, these courses can serve as a ‘passport’ into teaching and a short introduction ideal for helping to orientate potential teachers who may be leaving the country on a very short term teaching mission, where teaching English is not designed to provide a sustainable source of income, or where teaching might take place on a casual basis.

The I-to-I online course is utterly flexible, and gives you the choice of how quickly or slowly you’d like to work through the course. This usually takes around 40 hours, but really depends on the speed you work at, and the time it take you to get through the exercises and reading involved.
