Description

TEFL/TESL/CCA Certificate Course

Our TEFL/TESL/CCA Certificate Program is an internationally recognized Teaching English as a Foreign/Second Language course that is the first of its kind in Quito, Ecuador's capital city. It is a 150-hour program that includes a unique CCA (Cross-cultural Awareness) module and 4 hours of officially observed classroom practicum. Upon successful completion of the course, graduates receive an internationally accepted certificate in the teaching of English as a second or foreign language, officially recognized by Juniata College, Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, U.S.A.

The program offers you the unique opportunity to not only learn and practice TEFL, but also the chance to live the lifestyle of a TEFL teacher in a foreign country.

Offered in January-February and September each year, openings for each of the two courses are very limited.

Highlights

Once you obtain your teacher certification, the whole world will open up to you! You will have the opportunity to travel all over the world and see places that you've only dreamed about until now. Working as an English teacher provides adventurous people with the means to travel for as many years as they like without having to constantly worry about how much money is left in their bank account. CEC-EPN's TEFL/TESL/CCA certificate is without a doubt the best investment you can make if you wish to expand your horizons and live in other parts of the world.
