TEFL Course by Distance Learning

Leaders in accredited online TEFL Courses by Distance Learning

INTESOL online and distance learning TEFL certificate courses offer trainees greater flexibility through a teaching approach known as supported distance learning. Study at your own pace, wherever and whenever you like. Study at home, in the library, in your workplace ... it's up to you.

Your personal tutor and our support network will be on hand to provide guidance and support by fax, phone or email, so you need never feel alone.

Our structured Certificate in TESOL TEFL certificate enjoys international recognition as an initial qualification due to its prestigious accreditation with the College of Teachers, the chartered body for the teaching profession.

Successful completion of an INTESOL distance learning TEFL course demonstrates your initiative, self-motivation and ability to manage your time efficiently. These are all attributes you require as a TEFL teacher, and qualities employers will actively be seeking.

Observed Teaching Practice

In the early years, many INTESOL distance TEFL course trainees asked us how they could improve their skills by gaining constructive teaching practice. In response to this need, we pioneered flexible TEFL training by offering a combination of the Certificate in TESOL by distance learning or Cert TESOL PLUS by distance learning with a week-long onsite observed and assessed Teaching Practice Certificate.

This means as an INTESOL TEFL course trainee you can enjoy the best of both worlds!
