Description

The International House Toronto TEFL Certificate is a one-week introductory ESL course designed to equip new teachers with the skills necessary to survive in the classroom for those who don't need to/are unable to commit to a full CELTA, TESL or TESOL course (or would like to see what it's like first). Unlike most introductory courses, the IHT TEFL Certificate includes observed teaching practice and is delivered over five days totalling 30 actual classroom hours.

This course is intended for first language English speakers (without necessarily a post-secondary education) who wish to teach English mainly overseas, or second language speakers with a desire to teach English mainly in their home country.
