International TEFL & TESOL Training: Become TEFL-certified in Florence, Italy!
International TEFL and TESOL Training (ITTT) offers an internationally-recognised and accredited four-week TEFL certificate course in the historic city of Florence, in the Tuscany region of Central Italy.
The TEFL certificate you earn on completion will enable you to work as an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teacher in Italy or around the world. In addition, we offer online TEFL certification courses and optional Italian language courses.
Our school is located in a 'real' Italian area where students will meet, eat lunch with, and socialize with Italians who actually live and carry out their daily lives in the vicinity of the school. As a result, they will be exposed to the authentic Florence, not the Florence that is created for tourists.
The Italian support staff is extremely helpful and courteous, and will give you all the help they can to make your stay in Florence and your 4 weeks on the course as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.
