TEFL Society offers teacher training to UK and international learners.

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

How can we help?

01

Funded

Our goal is to open up the TEFL sector broadly to people from all walks of life!

So, many of our learners get their course funded through a Gotoco placement.

Join us if you are excited about the opportunities to travel the world and embark on a fulfilling and socially impactful career as an educator.

02

Experienced

We have over a decade of experience in teacher training.

We always want to ensure that our courses are engaging and flexible to our learners' schedules, while making sure they are also rigorous and provide robust career enhancement with top skills development.

We'll support you to become the best TEFL teacher you can be.

03

Practical

TEFL is a practical training, and great TEFL courses should give as much hands-on, real-life experience as possible.

It's no use just learning the theory of teaching, you need to get out into the classroom or lead activities to hone your skills.

So, our courses always go hand-in-hand with a real-world work experience placement.

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, India, and 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 L5 TEFL course. These take place in Thailand. Apprentices will join in groups of up to 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 set up 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 short-term projects in China!
