Description

Want to learn how to teach, get one of the best certificates available, get a job and then enjoy lifetime, worldwide career support? If you do, you've come to the right place.

Accredited residential TEFL TESOL training:

The EBC residential TEFL course has been accredited as being at NQF level 4 by Ascentis (OCNW) a British National Awarding Body. Another extremely well-known certificate is also an NQF level 4 qualification, so EBC is in good company as being one of the best certificates you can get.

What sets EBC apart from the other extremely well-known certificate is that EBC gives you an exclusive, lifetime, pro-active Job Placement Assistance Programme that helps you get teaching jobs worldwide. EBC has a database of almost 2,000 schools and agencies around the world. EBC not only offers great training but also great job support as well.

The EBC International Certificate in TESOL is an accredited 120 hour course. It is worth 12 credits.

EBC has helped its graduates find work in all continents (except for Antarctica).

EBC has residential training centres across 3 continents: Europe, South America, Asia (Middle East), Asia (Far East).

EBC will help you find accommodation and we have great TEFL course + accommodation packages available in all our residential training locations.

EBC is accent tolerant. As long as you teach within the rules of your country's version of English (e.g. American English) that's fine with us.

EBC is not a TEFL portal. All EBC residential centres are controlled by EBC and run the same course resulting in the same qualifications.

When you graduate from the residential course you will be awarded the EBC International Certificate in TESOL and the EBC International TEFL Certificate. The EBC International Certificate in TESOL meets British Council requirements for teachers in its accredited schools.

Accredited online TEFL TESOL training

If your budget can't reach to a residential course, EBC is possibly the best option for taking an online certificate. Or online certificate is also accredited by a British Examination board so the certificate you will get is worth a lot more than the paper it is written on. You'll have concrete proof to show prospective employers that your online certificate was indeed worth your time and effort. If you want to convert your online certificate into the British Council accepted EBC International Certificate in TESOL you can do so be attending one of our 2 week teaching practice courses.

When you graduate from the online course you will be awarded the Certificate of Educational Studies (TESOL) and the EBC TEFL Certificate. The Certificate of Educational Studies (TESOL) is an accredited award given by a British Examination board.

All EBC courses:

• are dual award so you get a TEFL and a TESOL certificate,
• are fully compliant with international guideline laid down by the TESOL organisation (USA) and the British Council (UK),
• are practical, thorough, accredited, dual award TESOL TEFL courses,
• are designed for candidates that have no experience teaching English,
• are also suitable for candidates that have teaching experience but lack formal training in the TEFL TESOL field,
• are all externally moderated by an official examination board.

EBC is independently checked by our accreditor regarding:

• our course syllabus,
• our course manuals,
• our trainers' qualifications and experience,
• our training centres,
• our web sites,
• our administrative procedures.

Accreditation and external moderation

Our accrediting examination board, Ascentis (OCNW), is a British National Awarding Body. Ascentis is approved by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) and is licensed by the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA).

• The QCA and QAA are both British Government organisations.
• The QCA oversees the National Awarding Bodies.
• The QAA ensures that higher education qualifications are of a sound standard.

Highlights

Qualified trainers and 3rd party recognition

The EBC training course is given by highly qualified trainers with an average of 15 years experience each. The course has been reviewed, approved and accredited by Ascentis, a British Government overseen examination board and British Council recognised TESOL awarding organisation.

The EBC International Certificate in TESOL meets British Council standards and is truly internationally recognised. The EBC International Certificate in TESOL opens doors to jobs with language schools and with the British Council, an international organisation that has schools in 109 countries around the world with good pay and conditions.

This means that just about any country you want to teach in will have a British Council school in it somewhere. Many language schools use the British Council requirements as their own standard for hiring and use the "if it's good enough for the British Council, then it's good enough for us" type of philosophy.

The British Council only wants to hire the best so it places limits on the certificates it will accept. You don't have to be British to work for the British Council!

Unlike some other accredited courses that focus on British English, EBC is accent tolerant. We don't mind what type of English you use as long as it is correctly used and consistent, e.g. if American English is used, then all vocabulary, spelling, pronunciation etc. must be consistent within the rules of American English.

EBC has a list of testimonials given by course graduates. We also have a system that allows you to get in direct contact with previous course graduates by email so that you can ask them privately for unbiased information about their experience on the course and about EBC's career support service.
