The TEFL Specialist Certification Course
Our 160-hour TEFL Specialist course combines the 60-Hour TEFL Fundamentals course with our TEOC Teaching English Online module, TEYL (Teaching English to Young Learners) module and three English for Special Purposes (ESP) programs:
- Teaching Business English
- Teaching TOEFL®, IELTS®, TOEIC® and other Standardized Examinations
- Teaching Hotel and Resort English (Teach in Hotels and Resorts around the World)
By completing this course you earn TWO certificates! You receive our TEFL/TESOL SPECIALIST 160-hour certification and an English for Special Purposes (ESP) certificate detailing your FIVE specialties.
This 160-hour TEFL Specialist course has everything a teacher needs to understand how a successful EFL classroom works and takes you several steps beyond that with the ESP, TEYL and Teaching Online modules.
The ESP modules further develop your skills to provide greater employment opportunities teaching Business English, teaching Hotel and Resort English, and Teaching Standardized Examinations (such as the TOEFL, IELTS and TOEIC examinations).
This program also includes the Teaching English to Young Learners (TEYL) module. Every teacher works with young learners at one time or another and many start out teaching kids. The TEYL module helps you know how best to teach these challenging and rewarding learners.
For teachers who want to work from home teaching English, we provide our Teaching English Online program. Teach online in your home country or supplement your income while teaching or traveling abroad.
You can see from the course content and eBooks that we are not only interested in providing you with excellent course content to help you be a better teacher, we also want to help you succeed working at home or abroad.
Your evaluation to earn your certificates consists of an examination and an assigned topic lesson project, three ESP lessons, a TEYL lesson and a teaching online lesson.
If your work does not support a passing grade, you will be told what the issue is and where and how to find the information you need to resolve it and asked to resubmit the work in question. Our goal is your success and we will support you in completing your course.
Experienced teachers can expect that this course will not take the full 160 hours including time working on the examination and lesson plan projects. New or inexperienced teachers should expect it to take about 160 hours or more.
You are allowed one year to complete the course.
