Length of Position: 4 week course (full-time)

Description: We provide first class teacher training in one of Europe's most vibrant and popular cities. Based in a long established school right in the middle of Barcelona we offer a friendly yet professional environment in which to obtain your TEFL qualification.

We are not a TEFL "production line". At TEFL Barcelona we are committed to our students, providing quality job guidance during the course and giving ongoing career support for as long as it is needed.
Our TEFL / TESOL course
Our course is designed entirely around our students, we keep class sizes small so that tuition is as personal as possible and all students receive as much help and assistance as they might need. Students are encouraged to adopt their own style of TEFL teaching and are given ample class time during the course in which to practice and develop.
We provide you with a 4 week intensive course, exceeding international standards, with 160 hours of classroom time, including 100 contact hours, and, the most important part of any real TESOL/TEFL certificate course, with 60 hours devoted to teaching practice. The daily schedule is divided up into theoretical input classes and workshops in the mornings, and practical sessions in the afternoons, including lesson planning and materials production, observation of experienced teachers / teaching practice, peer observation and feedback sessions.

The course will be externally validated and moderated by IATQuO. The qualification is widely accepted and well regarded by those within the international TEFL community. IATQuO assessors will evaluate and monitor the content and quality of our syllabus, teaching methodology and assessment procedures during regular visits. Students will receive a numbered certificate on successfully completing the course.

Highlights:

* During the course
During the course we look at practical issues related to finding an English teaching job, such as targeting most suitable schools and preparing for interviews. The fact that the course takes place within a language school also means that you will be given professional job guidance by real experts in the Catalan and Spanish TEFL job market.
