To make this the ultimate package for standing out in the TEFL job market, we’ve also bundled three high-demand specialist courses:
30-Hour IELTS Exam Preparation Course — Gain expert skills to guide students toward success in the IELTS test, covering all four modules (Listening, Reading, Writing, Speaking), test strategies, and targeted lesson planning.

30-Hour Business English Course — Learn to teach professional English in corporate settings, with focus on business vocabulary, formal communication, presentations, negotiations, emails, and workplace scenarios.
This is the ultimate package, which includes everything you need after your core course to gain practical experience, specialize in high-paying niches (exam prep and business), and access job placement assistance. The 30-hour practicum component provides EFL teachers with a highly-scaffolded practical learning experience. During the practicum, you will: observe six EFL teachers in both classroom and online settings using a specially-designed observation form; reflect on these observations, emphasizing the skills/tools/characteristics you’d like to develop in your own teaching practice; personally meet with your practicum coach to plan your first online lesson; teach a total of ten 30-minute lessons to a mix of ages and levels; reflect on each teaching experience, allowing for continuous improvement; receive professional feedback from your practicum coach, who will view and comment on one of your lessons; develop a personal learning program going forward. The practicum component—combined with these specialist courses—is your entry point into the exciting TEFL profession and will provide you with the confidence, specialised expertise, and real-world experience you need to expertly begin (and advance) your TEFL career.
