:: Weekend Courses in TEFL (an intensive intro)
:: Online TEFL Courses
:: Short Introductory TEFL courses

A TEFL Taster Day is probably the closest you will get to a CELTA or CertTESOL course without actually attending a course, and is perfect if you have not yet decided on whether to pursue a career in TEFL.

By being immersed in an English teaching environment for the day, you'll get a feel for what it will be like to spend all your working week in the language classroom - and if you have a rosy image of what it's like to teach - it'll bring you back down to earth!

PRICE: around £60. A proportion of this may be redeemable against the price of the full TEFL course if you book a Taster Day – please see individual course pages.

VENUES:

Bournemouth Central
Bournemouth Wimborne Road
Golders Green, London
South Kensington, London

VENUE: Hotels around the UK & Ireland
DATES: every month per venue
PRICE: from £210
