Ofqual Regulated | 310-Hour Level 5 Advanced Diploma TEFL Course

Our Course Style

The 310-Hour Advanced TEFL Diploma is the most comprehensive package we offer. It will prepare you in the most common TEFL areas, from teaching young learners and adults to more specific subjects like teaching business English to professionals. Combining these courses is a cost-effective and savvy way to get the most in-depth TEFL training. Starting with the 180- Hour Diploma, you will progress and additionally receive the following:

• 60-Hour Award in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) Business English
• 60-Hour Award in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) Online & One-to-One
• Last but not least, the course includes a 10-Hour Virtual TEFL Course, incorporating teaching practice. You can choose the days that suit you best to attend this class via Zoom.

You will have 6 months to complete your courses, but don’t worry—you can complete them sooner. The average completion time is between 10 and 14 weeks.

More about 10 Hour Teaching Practice

Our 10-Hour Virtual TEFL course is entirely online via Zoom. You will have the chance to practice different TEFL methodologies with other teachers. Get that practical experience before you enter your first TEFL classroom.

There are several days available to choose from. Please note you’ll need to be online for 3.5 hours each day, and you can choose to attend the virtual teaching practice course on either Wednesday and Thursday or Saturday and Sunday. If you select a flexible booking date, please note you will need to complete the 10-hour training within six months from the enrolment date.

We recommend starting with the 180-hour TEFL Diploma and then completing the 60-hour TEFL courses. Upon completion of all three, you’ll receive your Advanced Diploma certificate. After this, you can sign up for your 10-hour training. You will have 6 months to complete your courses, but don’t worry—you can complete them sooner. The average completion time is between 10 and 14 weeks.
