Course Structure:
Course units are e-mailed to you by your online tutor. With each unit you will also receive a task sheet. You read and absorb the material in the unit and then complete the task sheet and e-mail it to your course tutor with details of when you would like to receive your next unit. Your course tutor will forward your requested unit/s along with comments on your previous task sheet.
After successfully completing all course units you will receive your final grade, a letter of recommendation and your TEFL certificate.
The course has been designed to allow for maximum flexibility. As long as you complete the course within six months of receiving your first unit you can work at a pace that suits you. The maximum number of units you can receive per day is two, so you could theoretically complete the course within ten days. Please note that you should probably allow for about 5 hours per unit to allow you to read and absorb the material and complete the task sheet.
The International TEFL Corporation welcomes all applications, regardless of sex, age, race or nationality. The only requirements are a proficient level of English and the ability to adapt to new ideas.
Taking a TEFL course with ITTT really can open new doors and opportunities for anyone who would like to teach English, travel and work abroad.

In order to get the maximum benefit from the course we recommend receiving one unit per day. This will allow you to complete the course in under 4 weeks and will also give you time to fully understand and digest the lesson before continuing. However, if you wish to work through the course more quickly, or slowly, the choice is yours.
Course Content:
The course is unique for an on-line course as it enables graduates to receive ongoing career support and teacher development long after completion and provides an opportunity to see 'real' lessons through our CD-ROMs.
The course is divided into two main areas - teaching skills and language awareness. The teaching skills component provides details of the techniques and skills required by teachers in the classroom while the language awareness component gives a solid foundation course in English grammar.
The course consists of 20 units, 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.
