Based in or near Edinburgh and ready for a new career? How does the idea of working in a different country while teaching English as a foreign language sound?
We’ve got all the information you need to get an exciting new career as a TEFL teacher started, with our TEFL course in Edinburgh at The TEFL Academy. With our Combined Level 5 TEFL Course (168 hours), you’ll gain an internationally known qualification. We’ve broken our course down into two parts: online and face-to-face. The classroom part is taught at the Leonardo Royal Edinburgh Haymarket in Edinburgh over 2 days by a supportive and experienced TEFL trainer, with the total training time being 20 hours. The online part of the course can be completed remotely, with the dedicated assistance of our team from afar.
At the TEFL course in Edinburgh, we’ll teach you important elements of TEFL such as how you can deliver, plan, and develop the content of a lesson. The exciting part is when you’re given the chance to get involved in teaching a class yourself. You’ll leave this course with a clear understanding of what TEFL is all about.
The next part, which is completely online, will take you 148 hours to complete. You can spread these hours out as you like over six months. Many of the students prefer to complete them within four to six weeks. What you will be taught online will be more theoretical, with a focus on elements such as grammar and vocabulary.
We were the world's first TEFL course provider to have received official recognition from government regulated awarding bodies both in the US and the U.K. Our course is regulated by Ofqual (UK government) and awarded by Qualifi, a UK government recognised awarding body. Our Level 5 TEFL Course is DEAC-approved as meeting the criteria for Approved Quality Curriculum (AQC) status. The DEAC is a U.S. Department of Education National Accreditor.
So, what do you get at the end of it? You will be granted a Level 5 TEFL Certificate (168 hours) at the end of your course. This is recognised by TEFL schools across the globe. What’s more, this certification is regulated by Ofqual (UK government) and also approved as the same level as the CELTA and Trinity CertTESOL qualifications. It’s all you need to start your TEFL job hunt on our TEFL Jobs Board. We also offer you the opportunity to specialise in your chosen field of teaching English. All enrolments on our level 5 course include a free top-up course in Teaching Young Learners, Teaching Business English or Teaching Online & 1:1. You will be provided with a unique discount code with your booking confirmation email which can be redeemed against your chosen course.
If this sounds like just the career change you’ve always dreamt of, then get started by depositing £50 to enrol in our TEFL course in Edinburgh. Deposits are only accepted for courses more than 2 weeks away, your online course will be available as soon as you have paid the balance in full.
