The International TEFL Diploma Course
The course consists of 148 classroom hours, of which there are 12 hours of classroom-based teaching practice and 8 hours of teaching real foreign students while observed by your trainers. On the course there are a maximum of twelve trainees to two qualified native-speaker trainers. All teaching hours are observed by professional trainers and individual written and oral feedback is given to each trainee after each lesson.

Upon successful completion of the course, trainees receive the International T.E.F.L. Diploma.

Czech-speaking students
