120-HOUR COMBINED TESOL CERTIFICATION

Our combined TEFL/TESOL course blends self-paced online study with eight days of teaching practice at one of our training centers. You first study English teaching principles and methods, then apply your knowledge with actual EFL/ESL students under trainer guidance.

This flexible format is ideal for those who want practical teaching experience but cannot attend a four-week onsite course because of work commitments, time, or budget. It includes the same core training components as our onsite program and leads to 120-hour TEFL/TESOL certification. Observed teaching practice strengthens your employment prospects and may support applications where documented practical experience is required.

The program comprises 120 hours, increasing to 170 hours with your free specialization. Graduates may choose one 50-hour online course: Teaching Business English, Teaching Young Learners, or Teaching TOEFL/IELTS Preparation. A specialization broadens your teaching skills and may improve your earning potential substantially.

The course also includes full career support. We help you prepare your résumé/CV and cover letter, provide school and recruiter information, and share job leads received by our school. Through professional training, practical experience, and employment guidance, we help you prepare confidently for English teaching opportunities worldwide.

Our 120-Hour Onsite TEFL/TESOL Certification combines structured theoretical training with a supervised teaching practicum, giving trainees the opportunity to develop real classroom experience before completing their certification.
