A 120-hour internationally accredited TEFL certificate that opens English-teaching placements abroad. Designed as the natural next step for Erasmus+ alumni, graduates and career-changers, with a dedicated cohort program for coordinators.
Backed by Europe's mobility networks
Students and graduates who want to teach English abroad — and Erasmus+ coordinators requesting a group TEFL program for an outgoing cohort.
Students, recent graduates and Erasmus+ alumni who want to convert international experience into a paid teaching career in Spain, Italy, Latin America or online ESL.
Erasmus+ coordinators at universities and VET centres requesting a group TEFL program for outgoing teaching-track cohorts, aligned to KA131 / KA171 timelines.
All formats lead to the same accredited 120-hour TEFL certificate. The difference is delivery, practicum and whether it's booked individually or as a cohort.
Self-paced + live tutorials over 8–12 weeks. The most flexible format for working students and graduates.
Online theory + an optional in-person 6-hour observed teaching practicum at a partner academy in Spain or Italy.
Group TEFL track for universities and VET centres training future English teachers — per-participant pricing and cohort reporting.
Grammar, lexis, phonology — taught from a teacher's perspective, not a learner's.
PPP, ESA and Task-Based Learning frameworks. Build a 60-min plan in under 30 minutes.
Mixed-ability, young learners, business English and one-to-one settings.
Formative + summative assessment, error correction and CEFR alignment.
Optional 6-hour observed practicum with real ESL students at partner schools.
CV, demo lesson and job market briefings for Spain, Italy, Latin America and online ESL.
The hybrid track pairs the 120-hour accredited curriculum with an optional 6-hour observed practicum at partner academies in Spain or Italy — so you graduate with a reference letter and demo lesson, not just a certificate.
