Course Description

Spending a month away from home to attend a full-time TEFL course is not manageable for everyone. The Bridge-Linguatec TEFL Online certificate program is the perfect solution. Via Internet, we bring our expertise straight to you, in your home, preparing you to embark on your adventure of traveling and teaching English as a Foreign Language. Bridge Linguatec online TEFL courses also carry accreditation by ACCET, the Accrediting Council for Continuing Education and Training. ACCET is an independent agency that reviews and certifies continuing education and training programs in the US.

This 43-module program takes about 50 hours to complete, but since it is a self-study course, it can be done at your own pace. Depending on how quickly you work, within one to six months you’ll have your ACCET accredited online certificate and be ready for an English teaching position overseas.
