TEFL Society offers free & funded teacher training to UK learners.

We deliver a variety of accredited and inhouse TEFL/TESOL certification options – including Ofqual L3 and L5 courses. We also provide pathways to Trinity CertTESOL. All of our training comes with inclass real life practice across our global network of placements

How can we help?

01

Free & funded: Our goal is to broadly open up this sector to people from all walks of life! Join us if you are excited about the opportunities to travel the world and embark on a fulfiiling and socially impactful career as an educator.

02

Engaging courses: after a decade in teacher training, we desire to ensure courses are delivered in ways that are engaging and sympathetic whilst also being rigorous and career enhancing through their delivery of top skills!

03

Support by work-experience: TEFL is a practical training, and great TEFL courses should give as much hands-on, real-life experience as possible. Our courses are built into the practicums that go hand-in-hand with them. We only allow learners to do our courses as part of a wider work-experience opportunity -because these things should complement each other.

What do the international placements look like?

Types of Work Placements:

Short internships and  longer apprenticeships.

1-3 month internships in education settings across Thailand, Vietnam, Bali, China. These are junior roles, where everything is arranged for the learner and our network partner’s coordinators provide constant support. 

We also offer 6-12 month apprenticeship roles. As part of this learners will be guided through an Ofqual L3-5 TEFL course. These take place in Thailand. Apprentices will join in groups of 20-30 adults for these opportunities.

Destinations

Our placement provision partner’s expertise lies in Europe and Asia. Their 20-person coordinator team work across a network of over 100 partners.

Our founding team setup this project while studying Chinese together at Oxford -we then ran projects there for a decade! Projects in China can be extremely rewarding but owing to various hurdles are rarely available with UK organisations, we are proud of our uniqueness in offering coverage for projects in China!
