The 40-hour course is made up of the 20-hour Weekend TEFL course and the 22.5-hour online English Language 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.

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.

Cactus TEFL Online English Language Awareness Course
This course is a grammar course for teachers which helps you look at the English language from the point of view of the language teacher.
It is a "pre-TEFL" course which is for you if you are worried that you don't know enough English grammar, or if you'd just like a head start before starting an intensive course. This is also a brilliant means of preparing yourself for the Pre-Interview Tasks.
It is also a 'post-TEFL' course for those who feel that despite the language study on the course, they still want more.
Course Features
- Full coverage of the essential aspects of the language from a teacher's point of view
- Tutor to answer your questions
- Video clips give you a taster of the classroom
- Audio clips to help with pronunciation features
- Entirely online in user-friendly environment
- Network with other trainee teachers!
Written in collaboration with Cactus by leading TEFL author, John Hughes, and designed to give you confidence before you take the plunge, the Cactus online language awareness course will help you not only to complete the pre-interview task, get through the interview but also, of course, follow the TEFL course itself.
Feedback and experience has shown us that the course is also really useful for teachers post initial training, who want a top up or a refresher.
