TEFL Premier Course - 120 hours Online with Christian TEFL

It is an exciting time to be involved in a TEFL training charity. We have the quality, accredited courses and now our aim is to get the word out further. I would hope that being a Christian Charity helps people trust that we will deliver - because who to trust is a major issue in online TEFL provision. Christian TEFL is quite a unique organization in outlook and ethos. While people can use their Christian TEFL certificate to travel and earn abroad like anyone else, we are also working with a number of partners, such as Interserve, TeachBeyond and ReachAcross to promote their worldwide mission placements. This means Christians can use their TEFL training to help improve lives. For many, a good knowledge of English is crucial to a job and a way out of poverty. All our profits go to these mission partners.

Technology is already improving ease of access to course and mobile learning. But the courses that will survive and be recognized as valuable will harness new technology yet still retain meaningful tasks, with quality tutor support, alongside peer-to-peer interaction. There are already cheap (and not so cheap courses) that are mainly multi-choice in nature and on their own are of little use in a classroom. Plenty of feedback from a qualified tutor so you can learn and develop and refine your knowledge is one of the key components of a quality course. I think this will still be the case in the future.

I see more learning taking place online, where students look to study in small or large community groups, where face to face learning will be only one of several options.

I would say Thailand is overrated simply because it is fashionable at the moment whereas a similar but less frenetic experience can be found in nearby Cambodia and Vietnam which are often overlooked. In Europe, France is still one of the most popular destinations for our trainees and we have seen this growing, with fewer people heading to Spain and Portugal.
