TEFL Teacher Training

TEFL – probably the most dynamic form of teaching in existence! And Language College Ireland offers you the chance to participate in this exhilarating experience. You will acquire the most up-to-date methods and skills by participating in thought-provoking classes given by highly qualified trainers and by observing and teaching small groups of friendly language learners.

Prospectus

The Language College Ireland TEFL Course is validated by ACELS (Advisory Council for English Language Schools, under the aegis of the Department of Education and Science). Successful candidates will be awarded the ACELS CELT (Certificate in English Language Teaching), a fully recognised qualification with a rapidly growing reputation worldwide.

Applicants without a degree who have good knowledge, skills and competence may be awarded the ACELS Certificate (CELT), although a degree will still be required to teach in a recognised English language school in Ireland. With this certificate you can travel the world and earn a good living, or teach in non-ACELS approved schools in Ireland. The course can be taken full-time or part-time.

Please note that TEFL is an abbreviation only, equal to ELT, ESOL, ESL and others used in this profession – see the FAQ's in our prospectus
