All TEFL Courses & Certifications Europe

To judge the quality of a TEFL course, we need to look at the content of the course, the accreditation of the TEFL course provider, the calibre of its tutors, and its reputation. The TEFL Academy is regulated by Ofqual and our courses are awarded by Qualifi. Our TEFL courses are approved by the DEAC. We are consistently rated highly by our alumni. We have won multiple awards for Top TEFL Course for not just one year, but three consecutive years. Our tutors are qualified, experienced TEFL teachers. We have over 200,000 graduates in teaching positions all over the world. We have placed more than 15,000 teaching volunteers and interns.

Yes, we do! The TEFL Academy offers:

• a Level 3 120-hour online TEFL course,
• a Level 5 168-hour online TEFL course,
• a Level 5 168-hour combined TEFL course, and
• a 40-hour Observed Teaching Practice course.

In the EU we offer face-to-face courses in Amsterdam and Rome. These are 10-hour components which are done in conjunction with our online course, to  give you a 168-hour Level 5 Combined TEFL certificate. This 10-hour course reinforces your learning on the online course and gives you practice in a classroom setting under the watchful observation of a trained tutor - and it’s tons of fun!

Basically, wherever you want to. There is a demand for TEFL teachers all over the world, from Boston to Cape Town to Taipei. With a TEFL qualification and a degree (in any subject), your options are endless. Without a degree, your options are a bit more limited but there are still plenty of potential TEFL destinations - especially within the EU. Or you can teach English online and live wherever your heart fancies.

A TEFL course from The TEFL Academy costs between €350 and €900. Bear in mind, you don’t want to do the cheapest TEFL course you can find. A TEFL course is an investment in yourself and your future - don’t sell yourself short.

Depending what you want to do with your TEFL certificate, either a Level 3 or a Level 5 TEFL qualification may be suitable. If you are interested in short-term, informal teaching posts such as volunteering or working on a summer camp, a Level 3 TEFL qualification is all you need. For more long-term, formal and better-paid teaching posts, you will need a combined Level 5 TEFL, or an online-only Level 5 TEFL qualification. What is always important is the quality of the TEFL course you do and the accreditation and reputation of the TEFL course provider.

TEFL stands for Teaching English as a Foreign Language. Being a TEFL teacher means teaching English to speakers of other languages. These English language learners might be learning English as a second, third, fourth or even fifth language - in other words, a foreign language.

TEFL teachers teach Conversational English, Business English, English for Academic Purposes, English for Specific Purposes, and a whole range of other related English classes. TEFL teachers can teach in kindergartens, schools, universities, language schools, in-company or online.

Speaking English is a necessary skill in this day and age. As the lingua franca of business and travel, the demand for English lessons is not looking to diminish anytime soon. TEFL gives English language learners access to a tried and trusted method of learning a language which ensures their best chance of success.

Without a doubt! A TEFL course is a flexible way to earn money and live the life you want to. With a TEFL course under your belt, you can teach English and live wherever you want - be it in your home country or abroad. What’s more, a TEFL certificate is needed for any formal teaching positions. On a personal level, a TEFL course will prepare you to teach in the classroom, even if you have no teaching experience.

You should do a TEFL course if you are adventurous, adaptable, personable - and looking for a way to live and work flexibly. If you dream of travelling the world on your own terms, you should do a TEFL course. If you are looking for a job which is interactive, fun, exciting and unpredictable, you should do a TEFL course. Really, the question should be: why shouldn’t I do a TEFL course?
