This course consists of 20 units/modules, carefully chosen and organized to ensure a gradual build up of knowledge whilst not overloading students with too much information at any one time. These units allow you to work through the course at a pace that suits your requirements.

Online TEFL Course units will be e-mailed to you by your personal online tutor (This is with exception of the Lessons in Practice unit, which can be downloaded online or sent to you on a CD-ROM ). A task sheet will be sent to you with each unit of the course. Once you have read and absorbed the material in any given unit and completed the task sheet, you can e-mail this unit to your tutor for grading and feed back. At the same time you can request the following unit or units to be sent to you along with the feedback from the previously completed unit.
After successful completion of all the applicable TESOL course units, you will receive a letter of recommendation, your final grade and your TESOL certificate.
Our online TEFL courses have been designed to allow for absolute flexibility. The course must be completed within six months of receiving your first course unit, but during this time period you can work at a pace that suits you. Please note that you should probably allow for about 5 hours per unit for studying the material and 1 hour for completing the task sheet. We suggest receiving only one unit per day to get the maximum benefit from the course. This will enable you to complete the course quickly and will also give you time to fully understand and digest each unit/lesson before continuing. However, if you would like to work through the course more quickly, or more slowly, the choice is yours.
