Why choose us?

You should always choose a TEFL course which is NOT online, but rather over a minimum of 4 weeks (and 120 hours) at a training centre. Trainees should have at least 6 hours observed teaching practice. It should be externally accredited by an organisation specialising in TEFL.
Our TEFL course fulfills these requirements!

Since 2009 we have been running TEFL courses every month, and have trained over 700 new teachers.
Toulouse is a perfectly sized city with a great climate, near Spain, the Pyrenees, Atlantic and Mediterranean. Bordeaux, Biarritz and the Costa Brava are all just a few hours away.

Is TEFL TOULOUSE for me?

In our experience, and judging by past successful trainees, we think our course is probably for you if some, or most, of these are true:

- You are interested in the English language and how it works.
- You want a course with plenty of teaching practice to accompany the theory - a minimum of 6 observed hours
- There is a bit of a performer in you, waiting to get out!
- You like working with people.
- You are interested in foreign cultures, languages and lifestyles.
- You see TEFL as an appealing temporary or permanent career.

Objective:

Our objective couldn’t be simpler. We aim to make you the best EFL teacher you can be and provide you with certification.

We think that for you to become a really good teacher of English, you need to have the maximum amount of time actually teaching during the course. We offer a minimum 6 full hours of observed teaching practice, with indepth feedback after each. 

TEFL Certificate Course:
4 -Week, Intensive TEFL Certificate Course covering Grammar, Phonology and Teaching Techniques, which is externally validated by IATQuO

Entry Requirements:

Applicants need to have university entrance qualifications, and be over 18 when the course begins. Non native English speaking applicants are welcome if they have fluent English.

Trainees do NOT need to speak French to follow the course, as the methodology enables you to teach multilingual groups, never having to revert to your students language(s).

Accommodation Options:
We offer a free accommodation finding service. Be careful with other TEFL courses here - you can end up spending up to 1000 a month on top of your course fees if you are not careful!

Testimonials:

Photo of TEFL Course in South of FranceYour training was, and is, extremely useful. I am now in China… and teaching little kids their first words in English. I feel like I’m still learning and I guess that’s what teaching really is!!! Getting into the depths of things, getting to know the other, dicovering and sharing feelings. If you saw my writing on the board, you wouldn’t recognize me. Tell your future trainees that the world is spinning on a beautiful axe and that borders are but man-made lines for us teachers to cross!
Derek Logan, UK, 
Shortly after graduating from TEFL, I hit the ground running in pursuit of a teaching job in France. TEFL Toulouse was wonderful about providing genuine and tested guidance for finding jobs post-graduation. It wasn’t long after completing the course, perhaps a week or two, when I found myself with two private TESOL students and an interview at a local language school. The accreditation that comes with the TEFL certificate carries a lot of weight and I was so pleased to see employers take it seriously. I always knew I would like to teach English as a foreign language, but I never could have predicted how much I would LOVE it. TEFL  provided me with that revelation via an intensive, yet incredibly rewarding, experience. I highly recommend this course and Toulouse!
Arlen Mabe, USA / France
I taught English in Korea for a while, then since returning I’ve been teaching students at UCLA where I had students from Brazil, Taiwan, Turkey, Russia, Japan, and France –  all in the same class! One of my Brazilian students enjoyed my class so much, that she gave me a Mickey Mouse #1 teacher trinket after we all went to Disneyland. And because LA is a major tourist destination, I’ve been a tour guide/teacher/chaperone for Chinese and Japanese students who were here on their winter/spring vacations. In fact, I’m teaching/chaperoning a Japanese high school group from Kyushu next week. I also have a lot of TESOL work lined up this summer with the same organizations as well. My TEFL certification has certainly led me to places beyond the classroom!

I have fond memories of my 4 weeks at TEFL  – I learnt a ton! I work for Wall Street English in Bayonne now – hard work but that’s life. I like the job, it is a management position more than anything else.I book lessons, and I also do some teaching.I learnt a lot of TEFL stuff with you guys!
Andreas Mouyios, London / Greece, 
I’ve been teaching English in Tokyo for 2 years now, and still have fond memories of the Toulouse course.
Parker Thomas, USA,
After 8 years working and travelling as a Tour Guide, I decided that teaching English would be a good way to make money to finally have a little place to put my backpack away! Did the TEFL course and was very impressed with the quality of the content and with the trainers. Have been working for a couple of months in Toulouse now, there is definitely work around here and the course really helped me prepare for it!
