Spending a weekend immersed in the world of TEFL will give you a clear insight into what TEFL is all about. You will focus on some of the key issues surrounding teaching English: being in a classroom with a group of non-native speaker students, motivating them, encouraging them, and planning lessons for them. A weekend TEFL course is an intensive TEFL learning experience!

You will find a weekend TEFL course is a lot of fun, a chance to meet like-minded people. You will also have the opportunity to teach short slots on a couple of occasions. What you will get in abundance is enthusiasm, teaching tips and inside knowledge from respected TEFL trainers.

In order to get the most out of your course and to become a more rounded teacher it is advisable to back up your face-to-face weekend course with an online TEFL course.

If you add on online components up to the tune of 120 hours, you will find that not only is your TEFL course better respected around the world, but that you are eligible for job placement in one of several countries worldwide through the 120 hour course provider. See the 120 hour course pages for more information.

Having completed a weekend TEFL course, or a Weekend plus Online course, you’ll be keener than ever to rush off and go and apply this new-found information in the world of TEFL.

All weekend courses listed below, whether they are backed up by online components or not, aim to give you the same thing - an exciting insight into what it is to teach English - and all the basics you need to have the confidence to take the next steps into the wonderful world of TEFL.
