The TEFL Certification Program is available as a 4-week intensive course or a 12-week, Saturday part-time course.
The full-time intensive TEFL Certificate Program meets for 4 weeks, Monday 10 am to 5 pm, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm and Friday, 10 am to 5 pm. There is a total of 120 hours of instruction.
The part-time program TEFL Certificate Program meets Saturday from 9 am to 6 pm for 12 weeks. The content of the program is the same as the full-time course; some lesson-planning hours are done as homework with instructor guidance via e-mail.
In both our full-time and part-time programs, we make available special units for non-native teacher trainees. Since the principles of the program are transferable from language to language, the Institute's TEFL Certificate Program will prepare you to teach any language you know.
The tuition for both full-time and part-time programs, including all class materials and $250 non-refundable application fee and deposit, is $2,465. If you are not accepted into the program, your $200 deposit will be refunded.
