Connect with the World
Become a TEFL certified English Teacher with ConnecTEFL
We certify English language teachers so they can connect in international communities and build cross-cultural relationships.
Why ConnecTEFL?
ConnecTEFL's Teaching English as a Foreign Language certificates meet TESOL International Association’s standards for short-term, adult certification programs.
Our teacher trainers have 50+ years of combined experience, have lived and taught overseas, have advanced degrees in TESL, and teach at the university level.
Our curriculum tackles common myths about teaching the English language and deconstructs them according to the best practices and theories in TEFL.
The cost for a ConnecTEFL certificate is half the price of many certification programs of the same value which include practicum.
A ConnecTEFL Certificate
Equips you to teach English as a Foreign or Second language.
Consists of 100 hours of instruction and 20 hours of on-site practicum
