TEFL/TESL

TEFL/TESL (Certificate) (Diploma)

The English Language Centre online is offering the Certificate in TEFL/TESL course for anyone with an interest in Teaching English as a Foreign Language. It is particularly suitable for those considering entering this rapidly growing profession who have no direct access to a training centre.

We also offer the ELC Diploma in TEFL/TESL course which is designed for those wishing to develop their skills and knowledge in the TEFL/TESL profession and enhance their careers.

ELC online is an independent English Language research and TEFL/TESL teacher-training organisation established in 1990 with the aid of grants and support from English Training & Enterprise Council (TEC). The ELC is also part of the UK Government learning initiative Learn Direct. There is a growing need for professional, affordable EFL/ESL teacher training and the Training & Enterprise Council recognised ELC’s aim and ability to meet this need. Now near the end of our second decade, we continue to do so.

Our onsite TESOL/TEFL/TESL course, in conjunction with the American Language Institute, in Bogor, Indonesia, commences monthly and offers a minimum of 12 hours observed teaching practice with actual ESL students, compared to the 6 offered by most similar onsite courses.

Our graduates are also guaranteed job placement in Indonesia, as well as throughout Asia, Europe, or Latin America. Enjoy this exclusive opportunity to teach English both to the locals and some of the most interesting indigenous peoples in the world in a lush tropical mountain setting.
The cost of the four week intensive onsite TESOL/TEFL/TESL course, including accommodation, transportation from the airport as well as to and from the course every day, breakfast and laundry service, is $750 USD.

For those wishing to save on the expenses of a full onsite TESOL/TEFL/TESL course we are also offering a "hybrid" course. This course includes the completion of all TESOL/TEFL/TESL coursework online, followed by a 2 week, face to face teaching practicum for $500 USD, including accommodation, transportation from the airport as well as to and from the course every day, breakfast and laundry service. The "hybrid" course includes the same job placement guarantee as the online and intensive onsite TESOL/TEFL/TESL courses.
