4-week TEFL Certificate Course:
The TEFL certification course has a very practical emphasis and features a high proportion of actual teaching practice hours in the classroom. Teachers are assessed on their understanding and practical application of the course content through teaching practice and the compilation of a teaching journal. These two are assessed separately but the final grade awarded amalgamates both sets of grades with a slight weighting towards teaching practice.
Sign up for any one of our TEFL International 4-week residential courses and receive an additional certificate course free of charge. You may choose from the following free courses: (a) Introduction to TEFL. (b) Teaching Business English. (c) Teaching English to Young Learners.

Location:
Costa Rica has long been renowned for the friendliness of its people, high standard of education, enlightened environmental policies, and for its peaceful, democratic government. Most of all, Costa Rica is famous for its stunning natural beauty and the density and diversity of its exotic flora and fauna.
The town of Manuel Antonio occupies a unique place on Costa Rica's central Pacific coast where the rainforest sweeps down from the mountains to greet a series of warm palm-fringed beaches. Bordered by one of the nation's most stunning national parks to the south, Manuel Antonio is a living paradise and a nature lover's dream.
Manuel Antonio boasts a series of magnificent beaches that are the perfect place for studying alone or for just spending a day with new friends. Manuel Antonio's sister city Quepos provides a glimpse into traditional Costa Rican life and hospitality. Located just a few minutes from our campus, this small town can be easily explored on foot, and yet for its size, Quepos offers an astonishing assortment of international restaurants, as well as shops, Internet cafes, beaches, a farmer's market and a colorful nightlife.
Accommodation:
We have a number of accommodation options available for students taking our TEFL course in Costa Rica, including homestay, private apartments, and hostels. The TEFL training centre in Costa Rica can arrange homestays with Costa Rican families for those students wishing to practice their Spanish while enrolled in the course.
Our homestay options are located in both Quepos and Manuel Antonio. The families have been pre-screened with breakfast, dinner, and laundry service provided. Please note that homestay accommodation should be secured at least one month prior to the course start date.
