WHY CHOOSE A SPECIALIST TEFL COURSE?

p.22

When you’re new to TEFL, it can be confusing with all the different terms being bandied

about. So just to clarify; TEFL, TESOL and ESL all mean pretty much the same thing – Teaching English as a Foreign Language. The good news is that anyone can do a TEFL course if they are: 1) fluent in English and 2) they have access to the internet. Simples!

So now we’ve got your attention, we can show off

a bit! i-to-i have been providing comprehensive, tutor-designed TEFL courses since 1994 so

we’re the longest-running TEFL course provider in the business! With over 182,000 graduates and counting, we’re at the top of our game and we don’t intend to change that any time soon.

And what’s more, our TEFL courses are UK-Government regulated which means your qualification will be recognised internationally and you’ll be the proud owner of one of the most sought-after certificates in the world of TEFL!

What is TEFL?

Top 5 Most Frequently Asked TEFL Questions – Answered!

DO I NEED A DEGREE OR ANY PREVIOUS QUALIFICATIONS TO TAKE A TEFL COURSE?

Q: No. Nein. Nej. Non. Nope!

WILL I GET ANY SUPPORT DURING MY COURSE?Q: Yes. Here at i-to-i, we have in-house tutors who are here to help you through your course and they are contactable via phone, email or our web chat service.

WHERE CAN I GO TO TEACH ENGLISH? Q: There’s huge demand for TEFL teachers in pretty much any country where English is not the native language. The world is your oyster!

DO I NEED TO KNOW ANOTHER LANGUAGE TO GET A JOB IN TEFL? Q: No, you won’t be expected to know or learn another language as long as you speak English fluently.

HOW MUCH WILL A TEFL COURSE COST ME? Q: Our courses range from £35 to £595 depending on how much training you want to get behind you.

5 Top Reasons to TEFL

We’ve got to be honest, we’ve struggled to get it down to just 5…

WE’RE OFQUAL REGULATED 1. Not only are we fully regulated by the UK Government body Ofqual, but we were also the first course provider of our kind to get regulated. To put it simply, with an Ofqual-regulated certification from us, your CV will be at the top of the teaching pile!

We’re Ofqual regulated! But what is this...…

Ofqual is basically the UK Government department in charge of regulating teaching standards. Not only are we fully regulated, but we were the first TEFL provider to be regulated this way. We provide both Level 5 and Level 3 Ofqual-regulated TEFL qualifications - the former being an equivalent to a foundation degree, or CELTA, and the latter is an A Level equivalent!

If you needed any more convincing, we’re also accredited by the ODLQC (Open & Distance Learning Quality Council), an independent body who quality checks open and distance learning.

To put it simply, with an i-to-i TEFL certificate in hand, your CV will rise to the top of the teaching pile!

Which type of TEFL Course is best for me?

practice in an actual classroom, we’ve got your perfect TEFL Course match.

By the time you’re done, you’ll have the skills, confidence and qualification you need to teach English anywhere in the world - whether that’s for a full-time TEFL career, or just a bit of travelling fun!

Flexible, fast and engaging! Our Online TEFL Courses give you all the training you need to become a top TEFL teacher. They’re accessible from any device, 24/7. You’ll find them packed full of videos, real-life classroom scenarios and interactive quizzes.

What do our students have to say?

“i-to-i’s TEFL Course makes a daunting task (learning a completely new field) into one that’s exciting and full of opportunity! There’s plenty of work but the structure and layout ensure that you don’t find it tedious. It creates a platform to explore education in different ways and in different cultures! TEFL gives English a more exciting and meaningful purpose. ”

Jessie, UK

“The i-to-i TEFL Course was informative and also challenging. Some of the quizzes really got me exercising my brain! I felt I needed to brush-up on my grammar knowledge and skills before teaching students abroad. The material covered in this course was really useful and I feel much more confident now to go out and teach! Thank you i-to-i TEFL.”

Tiffany, South Africa

“Although the venue was already comfortable, my tutor did a great job at creating a welcoming and encouraging atmosphere where I felt at ease learning and making mistakes which I could then learn from. Having this class time to explore and experience some of the practicality of lesson planning and execution was invaluable.”
