Course length – 6 weeks

The TEFL for Target Learner Groups course has been specifically designed for trainees to get the best out of their learning, allowing time to study at home and continue to work, if necessary. Whilst 4 week courses such as the Cambridge CELTA allow you to complete your training in a shorter space of time, they are extremely intensive, with 8 hour training days, five days a week.

A 6 week, 5 hour a day course gives trainees the time they need for further study and lesson planning plus the chance to enjoy Thailand. With only four course days per week, trainees have the chance to dedicate one day as their “home study” day should they so wish, and still leave plenty of time for relaxation. Timings also allow trainees chance to continue to work during evenings and weekends, to ease any financial burden.

Part time course

A part time – one day a week course run over 18 weeks is also available for those working locally and require a TEFL qualification.
