  :: Intensive 4-week TEFL Courses

TEFL courses that last 4 weeks or longer in an intensive format are there to give you the best possible grounding in TEFL before you embark on a career change or a long gap project.

There are three options listed below, all quite similar in terms of course content and what you can do by the time you finish.  Two of them (Cambridge CELTA & Trinity CertTESOL courses are externally validated by exam bodies, which, it can be argued, will give them more integrity and could make them better received by the schools looking to recruit new teachers. The third category, “4-week equivalent courses” are largely based on the CELTA and CertTESOL, and may be taught by the tutors with the same qualifications. Some providers also have their own internal validation process.
