The TEFL Training College offers Online TEFL / TESOL Courses through up-to-date, technologically advanced interactive training media which enhance and promote the learning experience. You will be exposed to the latest industry course reading materials, video clips, audio - tutorials and web-based texts. You will also be assigned a tutor for the duration of your studies who will be available to assist you with your studies and guide you every step of the way.

Whilst the TEFL Training College recognizes the place of observed teaching practice in training programmes it is also aware that many aspiring English Language Teachers are unable to attend full-time courses or cover the cost of such courses. Online learning is not necessarily a second choice for students who cannot attend a conventional course, or who may not be able to afford the fees. Nowadays, more and more distance-learning students follow this route deliberately as a first choice! This is addition to people who follow the route for more obvious reasons; they cannot attend residential courses because of work or family commitments, or because they are remote from any institution offering a face-to-face programme. It is important to stress that online-training is a real way ahead, with advantages of its own, and a viable alternative to face -to -face training. When opting for a face-to-face course you may only be required to complete one or two lessons of observed teaching practice which is hardly a substitute for real classroom teaching experience. Your in depth knowledge of teaching methodology and practice will give you the tools necessary to apply in a real teaching environment and after one or two lessons in a new school, you will be well on your way to a career of life long learning and experience.

There are many reasons for choosing an online programme but for the moment consider the following six advantages:

• The opportunity to follow a very substantial course of professional training at a fee much lower than would normally be the case.
• The possibility to work from home at ones own pace during the course. This is particularly useful for those teachers in employment who seek a course of professional enrichment but cannot afford a period away from their regular employment.
• Adequate time to fully cover and, importantly, absorb the wide range of materials essential to a quality course and professional training.
• The very considerable saving, in terms of both time and money, as a result of not having to travel to a place of study and not having to meet the residential costs often involved.
• Confidence, through the acquisition of substantial subject knowledge, prior to any teaching.
• One is usually able to start a distance course whenever one wishes. One begins as soon as one enrolls and one should, within reason, be able to take as long as one needs.
