Accredited Online TEFL Certification Courses

International TEFL Institute - ITEFLI:
The International TEFL Institute (ITEFLI) offers internationally-accredited and recognized online courses in Teaching English Language as a Foreign Language (TEFL). Our online TEFL certificate and diploma courses are available to students in South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and around the world. In addition, we offer Combined TEFL Courses – an online TEFL qualification plus flexible in-class Teaching Practice (TP), organized by you or offered by language schools in select locations.

You may encounter similar acronyms such as ESL (English as a Second Language), TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of other Languages), ELT (English Language Teaching), and EFL (English as a Foreign Language). The main idea underlying these related concepts is that English has become an applied linguistic superhighway which travels on various parts of the world and has attracted passengers whose first language is not English.

At the International TEFL Institute, we have been involved in education and training for more than 10 years; operating in many countries worldwide. TEFL courses are extremely popular with school and college leavers as many will travel abroad after their studies. A TEFL qualification from ITEFLI will help you find TEFL jobs throughout the world. Our courses will enable you to teach and finance your travels to many exotic locations. Training usually involves attendance at a full-time course and is very expensive. An online course is much cheaper and offers the student a great deal of flexibility.
