Webinar Course Dates

Yes. Even if you are completing a TEFL course with another provider you are able to enrol on the webinar (as long as your TEFL course is a regulated Level 3 or Level 5 qualification).

A webinar is a seminar environment via an online platform. Our webinar allows classrooms of TEFL students to get together and learn from a qualified TEFL tutor.

All of our webinar times vary depending on the location of our TEFL tutors. It is paramount you check the time of the webinar in your own time zone before the start of the course.

For an optimal learning experience, you will need: - Desktop or laptop computer. - Stable internet connection. - Webcam, Pair of headphones (or speakers) and microphone (can be built into desktop/laptop device).

Unfortunately, it is a requirement for everyone to see you. You won't be able to present to a classroom and use the physical expressions essential to teaching a language. This webinar prepares you for both online and physical classroom environments. Without a webcam you are preventing yourself and the students around you from an important learning experience.

The platform our webinars are hosted on is ZOOM meeting. ZOOM is an online conferencing platform allowing us to successfully host webinars. The software offers features like breakout rooms and most importantly is highly regarded for its connection and stability. You can download the ZOOM software or viewed in browser.

As like most things in life good preparation is key to success. The TEFL Academy webinars are no different. Be aware this classroom consists of up to 12 students so your lack of preparation can largely affect others. It's important to find a quiet place you can learn in peace. Somewhere with reasonable lighting and where you can present/talk freely. This also includes no external distractions i.e. pets and children. Please double check the time zone of the webinar and arrive on time. It's vital you test your equipment before you start, preferably the night before your webinar. This includes a working WiFi connection, laptop/desktop computer, audio and video devices. Lastly this is a classroom environment, so please be patient with other students, act appropriately throughout the class and help each other get the most out of the experience as possible.

We maintain a strict one student per device policy, as the other participants need to see and hear everyone clearly.

You can do the webinar when you feel comfortable. That said it's best to have started your online course before the webinar to at least cover some of the basics.

Our tutors run through a register before every webinar. If your name is not on the list, you won't receive your Teaching Practice certificate on completion. If you find yourself not on the register on the day, please contact student services immediately.
