About the 40-hour Weekend TEFL Course + Grammar Awareness Module
The 40-hour course is made up of the 20-hour Weekend TEFL course and the 20-hour online Grammar Awareness course.


The 20-hour Weekend Course

The 20hr weekend course will give you the basic training you need to be an English teacher. In just one weekend you will learn the skills and methodology that will give you the confidence to get out there and teach.
You will enjoy a fun, interactive and high-impact course. The Weekend course gives you the chance to work in front of a group and interact with others in a simulation class setting.
Over the two-day course you will be introduced to all the essential TEFL areas you need to walk into a classroom with confidence.

The weekend training will provide you with a valuable opportunity for face-to-face classroom instruction, getting a feel for what the classroom setting is like which enables role-playing opportunities that you could not take advantage of through our online course.

The 20-hour Grammar Awareness Course
The Grammar Awareness Module is designed to give you confidence in English grammar.

This easy-to-use online module takes you through the rules and terminology of English grammar step by step.

The course helps you to get to grips with the Present Perfect and other grammar delicacies in your own time, own space and at your own pace. This part of the course is essential if you have no idea what the difference between the Present Continuous and Present Simple is. Studying grammar will be a revelation and will give you an enormous confidence boost both for you and your employer!
You work through the Grammar course in your own time in your own home, after completing the answer sheets you then return them to i-to-i for correction.

• Native or near-native English fluency
• A minimum age of 17
