Oxford TEFL

(CELTA online course, July 2025 intake; hosted from Barcelona office). I would not recommend Oxford TEFL to any prospective CELTA trainee. As a mature student and experienced teacher, I joined the course hoping to develop my skills in an objective, professional environment. Unfortunately, my experience was the opposite: I encountered targeted, subjective, and (most importantly) inaccurate feedback from my teaching supervisor, which I tried—repeatedly and professionally—to clarify. The critique was clearly subjective and there was no admittance or humility around this (indisputable) fact. This obviously led me seriously question the professionalism and the objectivity of the centre. Instead of resolving my concerns, management mischaracterised them as “not being able to accept critique,” and the centre was evasive and defensive throughout the grievance process. The irony is that I choose CELTA due to the rigorous critique process - I sincerely hoped it would improve my teaching skills. However, if it is not based in objective truth - it holds no value and I feared I would leave the course a worse teacher than what I started as. I had no faith in their ability to assess, guide or mentor me - and I gave several opportunities for them to graciously accept that perhaps they had been somewhat subjective (I would have actually accepted that; it would have showed humility, professionalism and it would have instilled trust and likely led me to continue in the course, despite the clearly inaccurate feedback I had received). However, my attempts to get clear answers in writing were met with delay, minimisation, and deflection. I was ultimately forced to withdraw from the course due to a lack of transparency, accountability, and professionalism from the entire management team. Even after escalating to Cambridge, I found the process lacked neutrality and simply circled the wagons to protect the centre. I did receive a partial refund after a prolonged dispute, but the experience was stressful, disappointing, and damaging to my trust in both the centre and the wider CELTA brand. If you value fair, objective feedback and a professional approach to student support, I strongly recommend you look elsewhere for your teacher training. I decided to complete the Trinity TESOL instead, and am already impressed with the professionalism displayed by the new provider. It is night and day, so my sincere advice is to avoid OxfordTEFL and their CELTA programme. Feedback and critique is absolutely essential. Objectivity, professionalism, humility and evidence-based feedback are equally essential. OxfordTEFL failed (repeatedly) in that minimum standard.

Completing the online part-time CELTA course was an unforgettable and transformative experience. The journey was challenging yet deeply rewarding, guided by the support of our tutors, Sinem and Billie, whose feedback and encouragement made all the difference. The interactive sessions and collaborative environment made learning both engaging and enriching. The practical teaching practice and detailed feedback helped me refine my skills and grow in confidence as an educator. I’m also thankful to Diana for her career advice and ongoing support as I take the next steps in my teaching career. This course challenges you but leaves you with lasting memories, enhanced confidence, and the tools to succeed as an ESL teacher. I highly recommend it to anyone passionate about teaching.

I recently completed the online part-time CELTA course with Oxford TEFL. I had no teaching experience prior to taking the course, and now I feel confident and well-prepared as an ESL teacher. My course tutors, Billie and Sinem, were wonderful ⁠— extremely supportive while always challenging me to improve. Everyone at Oxford TEFL has been a pleasure to interact with, and I especially appreciate the ongoing career services provided by Diana. I would highly recommend Oxford TEFL for anyone interested in the CELTA or other English teacher training courses.

The online CLIL professional development course was very interesting and the professor was supportive and helpful. The content was fascinating and I learned so many practical skills that have improved my teaching already.

Doing my CELTA with OxfordTefl has been an enriching and rewarding experience. As an international applicant, I had a lot of concerns and questions regarding the credibility of the course but the team at Oxford Tefl graciously resolved all my doubts in a timely fashion. They are not only well renowned but they also have the best online CELTA course module. The tutors are highly skilled professionals. The materials used in class and the input sessions are curated with practical classroom application in mind. The learning environment is wholesome and friendly. You come out of the course a changed person for sure!

Learning online with Oxfordtefl ,,, what a wonderful experience! A Covid positive!!! A mix of nationalities for two hours every day for four weeks - incredible! The guidance, support and teaching from the professional, approachable and friendly tutors was excellent. The four week intensive course is a journey packed full with assignments, lesson planning, lesson observations, afternoon input sessions and teaching. Lots of work, but great preparation for ensuring that the trainee teacher can feel confident that they will be able to teach effectively in their first TEFL job. Thank you Anna, Mike, Tim and Billie.

This is the course you MUST do if you want to become a certified TEFL teacher. I did the 100% Online CELTA program and loved it. Oxford International House is super well prepared to deliver this type of course without letting students feel they are missing the face-to-face teaching benefits. The course is 100% adapted so that you can deliver highly effective lessons. The support you get from teachers is great - they're always there to help you with planning, assignments and general understanding about concepts. The feedback after every teaching practice is honest and useful. You learn every time.

The CELTA course is a very rewarding and intensive course. It is challenging in all the right ways and the feedback given from the excellent tutors really made my experience worthwhile. I met the most wonderful people from all over the world. Now I am so excited to start my teaching journey after completing this course. I hope you enjoy and love it as much as I did!

What a fantastic learning environment and great support from tutors on this 100% online Celta course! It was a long journey, but I'm delighted I've done it! I would strongly recommend to anyone who wants to teach English as a second language to do this online course.

The course was enlightening, it really helped me improve my teaching skills. The tutors were extremely dedicated ant attentive to our needs. They were very professional and could always identify our strong and weak points. I feel much more confident now, I am glad I had the chance to study some authors that are very important in the field of English teaching. The organisation and the timing were appropriate and the course was tailored to challenge us, but at the same time we were supported and encouraged to do our best. And I think we did. The relationship within the group was friendly and supportive, I have met a bunch of new friends, and I hope we'll keep in touch in the future. The most valuable part was, in my opinion, the teaching practice: that is something I really needed and some suggestions I received from the tutors were really precious.

I can't talk highly enough about this course, from the information provided through the input sessions to the quality and experience of the tutors. The course not only prepares you for ELT through practice and observations, it provides you with someone to talk to about careers as well which I found to be very useful. I would recommend this course to not only beginning teachers but to teachers who have taught for a while too as there will are specific strategies related to ELT that are not as common while teaching in a classroom not related to English as a second language.

A professional team and wonderful tutors you can learn so much from, regardless if you're an experienced teacher or just starting out on that path. I’m glad I chose OxfordTEFL for my professional growth. Also, the encouragement we gave each other as peers throughout the four weeks, especially during the TPs, is something that can't be replicated. It's a demanding and intensive course, indeed, but every second is worth it.

My long cherished dream came true..! I always thought, a face to face CELTA would happen for me only when pigs fly as the centers were far off my place. But here I grabbed it from Oxford TEFL online; and that too with an international community of 19 new friends around the world..! A few of the CELTA alumni said, it's going to squeeze you out.' Yes, it was... But, thus came out the best teacher from within me. The course director and tutors were really patient and prompt in answering to the clarifications. Never taxing; but strict enough to take out the best. Sincere and constructive corrections by the tutors... And even at a bit of improvement, it's all genuine praise and encouragement: that's Oxford TEFL style..! And finally, I felt like, a paradigm shift in my life as a teacher.

I am an experienced and certified Adult Trainer in communication skills and leadership. However, a lot of people have approached me to teach English instead but then I did not want to as I did not have the qualifications to teach. So, I grabbed the opportunity to sign up for the CELTA online course and I am glad I did! What a roller-coaster ride with tons of things to learn as you apply!...thanks to the chance to teach a live class and learn at the same time. I thoroughly appreciate the tutors continuous selfless efforts to make the one-month of intensive training worth every second. What's more is that I got the opportunity to learn with aspiring teachers from across the globe and with tutors from different countries making it a truly international experience.

I had the same doubts that everybody before, in the same class as I shared. You don’t know if you can do it, you think you’ll fail several times and your stress tolerance will be tested. But, if you want to become an English teacher or further your career in it, there’s nowhere else to go. Every review you’ll read will mention the words “stress” and “intense” in some form or another. It’s all worth it. It is those things because that’s how good this course is. You get every little ounce of support possible. The teachers want you to pass and show that there’s always an open-door policy. I had no prior teaching experience before this course, and I have a new perspective on it that I was never able to have before. It’s incredibly rewarding to do this kind of work. So, if you’re looking for a challenge in a beautiful city, choose Oxford House in Barcelona.

From my initial interview (with the bubbly and enthusiastic Justin) to our "leaving party" and post-course job search, I have only good things to say about the Oxford House Barcelona staff. All administrative staff, tutors and teachers were extremely friendly and supportive, ready to give help and advice at the drop of a hat. The school itself is bright, spacious, well-equipped, well located and inviting. The timetable is intense but the sense of community at Oxford House helps a lot. During the course, we were teaching adult students ranging in age from early twenties to late sixties/seventies. The groups were enthusiastic and patient. We got great teaching experience and were given continuous feedback and constructive criticism from both peers and tutors throughout the course. I would definitely recommend CELTA at Oxford House BCN for anybody interested in doing the intensive course.

Doing the CELTA course at Oxford House Barcelona is one of the best decision I've made! I feel like the tutors and teachers were able to teach me a lot during a period of only one month. I had never taught classes before and now I feel confident, able and informed enough to teach a 90 minute class! After the course I found a job within a couple of weeks. It was certainly a wonderful experience that created a lot of opportunities for my future!

The CELTA course at Oxford TEFL in Barcelona was amazing. The program is well structured, very useful and interesting. The course is intensive but you get a lot of support from lovely tutors and other teachers. The careers service which the program offers is also really good. I would definitely recommend doing your CELTA course here. It is the perfect way to meet new people in a new city and to improve/develop your teaching skills. All the people at the school are very nice and inspiring and the atmosphere there is very supportive and positive.

The CELTA course was well structured, coherent and very practical. Beautiful school, perfectly located and well equipped. Tutors were professional and dedicated, ready to provide support and encouragement. I am happy to have chosen this school and would definitely recommend to anyone.

I have been an ESOL teacher for about eight years and have taught in four countries. I went into this program just for the certificate in order to teach in Spain and ended up learning new teaching techniques, new lesson plans, and new approaches to teaching grammar. The program is intense and I recommend that you dedicate your time and focus to completing all the assignments. The tutors were always there to help guide us, the students were wonderful, and I even made friends who also took the course with me. Overall, this program is excellent!

I completed my CELTA course in December 2018 with Oxford House and I could not sing their praises high enough. Everything from the teachers and facilities to the material and structure was perfect. It is quite an intense course but there is a great sense of togetherness while going through it from both teachers and fellow students. With its central location Oxford House was excellently placed for all students to reach quite easily. I would highly recommend this course to anyone thinking of studying English teaching in Spain.

I completed the Celta Certification Course at Oxford House, (Narodni 25), in early November 2018. The course is intense and extremely helpful for either a beginning or experienced teacher. It is demanding and rewarding. It provides a solid foundation to either build confidence, or to add confidence, for any who take the course. The reason I am writing this review is because this particular school became very special to me because the teachers and staff who run the school are inordinately rare and they work extremely hard. They have a sincere kindness that provides support on days that were difficult and that lends an added warmth on days that were less so. The staff who taught me were David Young, Šárka Císařovác, Sean Hayward, and Dan Baines. Even though we had only known each other four weeks, I genuinely missed them when I left because they were so hearted in their work, their crafts and their individual talents. Their criticism and feedback was direct, honest, and essential for understanding. Sometimes it was very hard to hear, but honesty is necessary for progress in learning. And they all have a good sense of humor that is most welcome to balance out the demands of the course. And their strong, detailed feedback and instrumental methods provide reverberating echoes in my mind which serve to help me daily in my teaching as useful and friendly reminders. Rachel Williams is a teacher in the language school at Oxford house, and she works as a coordinator in the Celta course. She helped us with writing our CV’s and helped me find work right away after the course was completed. She gave advice regarding accommodation and answered many other questions about practicalities in Prague. She also set-up different programs after the school day was finished such as Jan Kalina’s informative and useful services in his company “Movetoprague.” Sean, Dan, Rachel, Šárka, and David breathe a heartbeat into Oxford House and students feel it during, and long after the course has finished. I was not only taught much, I was nurtured and nourished in and through my learning due to their many supportive and encouraging spirits. I cannot recommend this place highly enough as it stands alone and apart from all other Celta certifying schools because of these unique people.

Having just graduated from University, I decided to do this course in order to gain a valuable qualification which would help me find teaching opportunities abroad. I had very little teaching experience before starting the course and felt a bit nervous at the thought of teaching a class in my first week, but now I am a confident, capable and assertive teacher. This course is 100% worth the price, and is a real investment. I should add that I came out of the course with a job, ready to start the following week in Barcelona!

The course is intense however all of the tutors and administrators at oxfordtefl are very supportive in the journey. Also, the school has a very wide network and tons of resources to use for teaching.

I didn’t plan to use my certificate right away, and took the course as a fall back plan for my ibevitable midlife crisis. I see teaching English as a way to travel without being a tourist and the course has made that a viable possibility. I feel well insulated for whatever the future holds!

I decided to take a CELTA course at Oxford House Barcelona because it looked like a well-established institution with a very warm and bright atmosphere. I had three years of previous teaching experience, but I wanted to get the methodology down so that I could structure my classes in a way that would benefit my students. The course was exactly what I had been hoping for - lots of practical tips and tricks, techniques, and insight into areas that only come by with experience. Teaching practice with DETAILED feedback from inspiring and incisive tutors systematically developed our skills over the 4 weeks, and this is exactly what I wanted - I wanted a professional opinion on my teaching. The tutors supported us in lesson planning and were available all the time. The careers office makes finding a job so much easier and hopeful for everyone who struggles with CV, NIE and what not. A great synergy.

I loved my course at Oxford House! The teachers were friendly, smart and helpful; the courses were informative and prepared me for my own teaching lessons; there were plenty of resources available; the school was in a great neighborhood with plenty of good places to eat, shop and walk around to. My only slight was with my roommates that I was paired with who had less tidy living habits than I did - but my host cleared it up once I brought it to her attention. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in Barcelona and have just accepted a position, which we began interviewing for as soon as Corinne sent out our CVs! I would recommend studying in Barcelona and Oxford house in general to anyone that asked.

This was a wonderful experience and, as promised, I am confident I can start teaching right after the program ends. The course is intense and the schedule long on school days, but the knowledge gains makes it overall an exceptional experience. The school holds everyone to high standards in coursework and academic behaviors. The staff is professional and always ready to assistant when needed. I am so glad to be be able to participate in this program and learn from knowledgable and experienced staff. The job placement program is strong and support with resumes is available. Many of my classmates already have jobs in the area. The school is well run and has a a great reputation.

This course worths every penny I have paid for. I enjoy every day spent there. Firstly, the academy is well located, just around paseo de gracia, although the shopping street has lured me to spend much money on my way to the academy every morning...The center has a lovely garden and basically has everything we needed, although I think more stationeries can be fueled in the office, like glues and tapes. Secondly, the tutors are very friendly, patient and helpful. They are always available to offer avdice. Thirdly, teaching content is well designed. But it would be better if teaching young learners and business can be included in this CELTA course too. If we are asked to pay again for the extra courses, then I guess most people would just skip them. I felt sorry that the teaching young learners' session was cancelled because of insufficient students signed up.

If you're searching for a program that will help you to feel confident in the classroom then Oxford TEFL Barcelona is for you! I'm a former Peace Corps Volunteer and I learned more in this 4-week class than I did in my 10-week training program as a volunteer. I had no formal teaching experience going into this program but by the end I felt comfortable and prepared stepping into the classroom. The tutors provide you with a plethora of information and hands-on skills that directly correlate to tools you'll need in the classroom. I will say that if you're choosing this program hoping that it will be cake walk and a 4-week vacation then you're in for a surprise. The word "intensive" isn't in the description by accident but I promise you can do it if you're willing to put in the effort!The tutors are friendly, experienced, knowledgable, and want you to succeed. The staff is honestly amazing! Every week is challenging but nothing they ask of you will be ridiculous. During this 4-week program I felt emotions ranging from anxiety to pure euphoria. I have had a lot of great experiences in my life but this definitely close to one of my best decisions I've ever made :)

The time I spent in Barcelona doing CELTA course with Oxford Tefl is really unforgettable! The course brought my teaching to a new level, gave me fresh ideas for further professional development, set further challenges. In afddition, I had wonderful time in Barcelona and made new friends from all over the world. Now I start reaping the benefit of it as my career in EFL teaching is definitely taking a new turn.

This course is very intensive but you are given a full explanation of what is involved before you start both by doing the pre-course task and during the telephone interview. I found that the tutors were excellent and extremely supportive and the feedback that you got from the lessons taught really helped you to focus on improving your teaching practice. All the staff that I encountered were extremely professional and would try to help you find a solution to any problems that you faced. I had an extremely positive experience at Oxford House and would recommend the course to anyone who wants to do a Cambridge CELTA. However you must be prepared to give up your life for a month to cope with the workload! Thank you Oxford House for a fantastic CELTA course!

Had a good experience during the TEFL course; met great people and learned a lot. The tutors seem to be quite inflexible in how you teach during the lesson observations. You need to fit the style of each tutor (you have a different one every week), or else your feedback is horrible. I also got a lot of mixed feedback (too much circulation, too little circulation). I am a qualified secondary science teacher with formal university training and 2 years of experience teaching. A lot of the feedback and suggestions given to me went against a lot of the standard pedagogy practicies and theories that are practiced in schools in the Western society. In addition, as a CANADIAN citizen, I was eligible for the Working Holiday Visa, but Regina, the visa coordinator back then, advised me that this was not possible for this program. This was COMPLETELY wrong, so I ended up spending about 3500 euros that I didn't need to spend. I was also asked to write a review for Oxford TEFL on their webpage, which I agreed to, but they decided to cut the part about Canadians not needing a student visa to be able to work in Spain. Completely immoral; just trying to scam people out of thousands of euros by not telling them all available options and actually providing the wrong information in order to make money for the company. Also, the job seeking help that they offer is just an excel spreadsheet of all recent graduates that are sent out to a list of schools. That's it. Oh, but they do help you with CV writing. I would strongly strongly STRONGLY advise against doing the Student Visa program that allows you to work 20hrs/week. They make you attend every single class (even if you are a native Spanish speaker, they won't let you switch classes to another language, for example Catalan), they keep track of your in-class participation, and you need to write a 1000 word essay every month, which is graded. If you fail to meet any of their requirements, you risk being reported to the government by Kate, the coordinator of the Developing Teaching Course. I understand wanting to follow the requirements of the student visa, but they don't follow all the rules themselves. Oh by the way, even if you do this Student Visa thing, you will most likely be working illegally anyway. You need to get a Work Authorization from your place of work, but NO school/academy will give you this, including Oxford House itself!!!! Hahahaha... they hire teachers illegally and pay them under the table, but are covering their backs by making students do all this extra work for nothing!! Oh also, during the developing teacher classes, we normally just sit there while Billy asks us to discuss amongst ourselves, "What did you learn in Spanish class this week?" "what have you tried in your lessons that you thought went well?" or take 30 minutes explaining how to use Google Docs........ it's a COMPLETE waste of time! I'd rather an hour session of students sharing good practice (which is basically what it is, but a lot of time is wasted on really useless information). I don't know a single DTS student that is happy with it. They all move to TEFL Iberia, where its less than half the price of Oxford House, and you don't need to attend any classes. They just leave you alone and let you live and work!!!

I researched other schools and am so happy I chose Oxford House to obtain my Trinity CertTESOL as they have the best reputation! After completing the course it is easy to understand why: the facilities, teaching resources and especially the teachers are the best I have ever come across. Everyone at Oxford House is so nice and always available to help in any way. The month-long intensive course was very challenging and indeed very intensive! However, the tutors were there the whole time to help in every way possible. The assignments were also explained very thoroughly and help was always there if needed. I was also very lucky to have such amazing classmates to share my experience and could not have made it through the course without them! Overall, this was one of the best educational experiences of my life and I am so grateful for everyone at Oxford House!

I've been to Barcelona, Spain to study the Trinity CertTESOL at the Oxford TEFL. I had a wonderful time there since the course was really perfect to me. I've learnt a lot of new things not only teaching knowledge but also inspirations, motivations and other things. I loved the time I was there with experienced, supportive, informative, helpful teachers, friendly classmates and modern falicities. The trinity CertTESOL course was challenged for me actually. And I could not have done it without help and motivations from the course director, my tutors and friends. Thank you!

I honestly feel bad for having taken so long to write a review of the Trinity CertTESOL program at Oxford House, as I completed the course in June of 2017. However, the truth of that matter is that I have been too busy working as an English teacher to have a chance to do so, which is exactly what you will get if you put in the time and effort to obtain this certification: solid, full-time employment, particularly if you decide to stay in Prague. There are dozens of schools in Prague that offer some type of TESOL/TEFL/ESL certification, but if you are looking to make teaching English a career, a new vocation, or simply a means of making money no matter where in the world you find yourself, there are only two options; the Cambridge CELTA and the Trinity CertTESOL. These two certifications are the gold standard for the TESOL industry, and will help you gain employment at the best and most reputable schools in practically any country. When my wife and I decided to leave our corporate lives and move abroad to teach English, we knew that we needed one of these two certifications to be successful, and did a lot of research to find the school that best fit our needs. In the end, our choice was Oxford House and the Trinity CertTESOL in Prague, as they consistently proved to be superior in a number of different ways. The first thing that set Oxford House apart was their website. Any and all information one might need is readily available in a format that is easy to read, and arranged in an orderly fashion. Second, the responsiveness of the staff was outstanding. If, at any time, we had a question about the school, the course, the requirements, Prague, etc., we simply sent an email to Karin, the course coordinator. She would always respond in a timely manner with just the information you were looking for, and also followed up with us as the beginning of the course drew near in case we had any last minute needs. Lastly, the post-course support offered in the form of visa support and lifetime employment assistance were big selling points. Many of the schools in Prague that we researched had employment assistance that amounted to “You have ‘X’ certification! Just go to the schools with your CV!”. Oxford House has graduates and contacts all over the world, so no matter where you wish to go, they can supply the support and introductions you need to obtain employment at a reputable school. Once we decided that Oxford House was the place for us to pursue our certification, we applied and following our interviews were accepted. That is when we realized what they meant by “Intensive”. Oxford House tries to prepare incoming trainees for the intensity of the course, but it is hard to describe just how much work and dedication it requires to complete the Trinity CertTESOL. The second day of the course, you are in front of live, adult students of English (yikes!) trying to figure out how you’re going to teach for 30 minutes! Training days are fairly consistent; you either teach in the morning, or observe one of your fellow classmates teaching. After teaching the class, your tutor gives you feedback on what went well, what didn’t, and gives you valuable feedback on how to improve. The teaching time is gradually increased over the span of the course to where you are teaching for up to 90 minutes at a time. The lesson planning guidance from your tutor also lessens as you get deeper in the course, to where you simply tell them your idea and you create your own lessons. This helps build your confidence and you teach you the best ways to craft a lesson plan based on your students. The teaching and lesson planning is only part of the program, however. There are also three large projects that need completed before you are granted your certificate. The first project is the Unknown Language Journal, in which you spend a week learning a new language (in our case Swedish), and then reflect on the experience. This is not meant to really teach you a language (though I might be able to order a beer were I to visit Sweden), but rather to help you understand what your students are feeling. It is a great exercise in empathy. The second project is the Learner Profile, a pronunciation, phonology, and speech analysis of a student selected from your classes. A recording is made of their speech, and you analyze their language usage, vocabulary, pronunciation, tendencies based on their L1, etc.. While at times overwhelming, this project proves valuable in that it helps you recognize and subsequently address the language learning needs of your student. Finally, there is the Materials Project, where you have to create an original lesson material or highly modify existing lesson material, and then present this project to an external auditor from Trinity College. This is a good exercise for those (like me) who aren’t skilled at coming up with original ideas. Oh, and did I mention that there was a language examination at the end of the course covering phonology, grammar, tenses, and other assorted English goodies? That’s right, an examination. It can be pretty stressful if you’ve not taken an exam in 20 years! In the end, this was both the longest and shortest month in our lives, and I’ve not worked this hard at something in many years; but was it worth it? In the week following our completion of the course, my wife and I had a combined 15 interviews with schools in Prague and received 15 offers. Once we obtained our visas we were teaching week-long intensive courses for two months straight which included IELTS preparation, and have been continually employed ever since. There have even been weeks when we turned down more jobs than we actually worked. If you want to stay in Prague and teach after completing this course, there will be more than enough work for you if you put in the effort. The Trinity CertTESOL program at Oxford House will prepare you for whatever Prague has in store.

Such an amazing experience getting my CertTESOL Certificate at Oxford House Barcelona. The staff and teachers are all very helpful and experienced. The 4 week program is intense (as they say in the brochure) but with the help of my peers and the teachers we pulled through! One month out and I felt confident to interview with a company and I got a full time teaching job! Thanks for all the help Oxford House!

I spent my summer at Oxford TEFL and it has been one of the greatest choices I've made towards my career. The course was very intensive but has prepared me for anything that might come may way when I start working. The tutors are so supportive and were always available for any problem myself or the other students were experiencing. The school's location is so convenient and the staff helped me find accommodation located nearby which eased a lot of my stress. The school also continually supports you with finding work even after you graduate which has proven very useful. If you are looking for a TEFL course I couldn't recommend this course more.

This programme is certainly intensive are well-prepared for this. The pre-course activity is done online and was a very useful introduction to grammar and lesson-planning, but of course nothing is the same as standing in a class in front of real students- this is the heart of this course and the great advantage of a 4-week intensive. The course consists of input sessions on language, observation of experienced teachers and peers, and your own teaching practice. I found the venue, professionalism and skills of the tutors and course materials to be of the highest standard. This is a very supportive environment and an excellent start to a career in TEFL, with great careers support also. I would highly recommend coming to Oxford House Barcelona for a great TEFL training and all-round experience!

The OxfordTEFL Teacher Training course was a crash course to becoming an English teacher. Starting on the third day, we were already in front of real students teaching them English. Along the way, we were supported by experienced teachers and tutors; and we were always given feedback on how to improve. As the course progressed, we became more autonomous with our lesson planning, yet still received the same quality feedback on our lessons. I 100% recommend the OxfordTEFL Teacher Training course. It is structured, practical, and well worth it. I am now confident in developing lesson plans and carrying them out. Do this program, you won't regret it!

The month-long TESOL course at OxfordTEFL Barcelona was nothing short of fantastic. I had amazing teachers who provided extremely useful knowledge and ideas, guidance and support for teaching practice, and well-organised input sessions in order to be able to teach in future and be able to explain and dissect information easily. The facilities were great, and the location is right in the heart of the city. Almost all of the things I'd learnt during the TESOL course were completely new to me, and the information and experience I've garnered in the month alone are extremely invaluable. I would recommend taking the TESOL course with OxfordTEFL Barcelona to anyone willing to learn from and be guided by some fantastic tutors and instructors.

This course was great!! It was like climbing a very tall mountain, with friends!!! Be prepared for a mountain of work, however the support is amazing. Apparently you can never ask too many questions. i would advise anybody doing this to learn the content in the pre-course task, this will really help your journey.

I had a great time on the Oxford Tefl course and would really recommend it. It is definitely intensive: you won't have time to do much else during the week, but it's doable. You're thrown in at the deep-end, teaching your own lesson in the first week which can be daunting but it's useful to get the experience straight away to start getting a feel for teaching and recognising what you need to work on. You get lots of input sessions to learn the theory behind what you're teaching and how to apply it. Sometimes it feels like you could do with having some more time to consolidate your knowledge, but by the end of the course I felt like I'd understood everything and had really got a lot out of it.

I completed a one month TESOL course with Oxford TEFL in February/March 2017. It gives participants a great insight into what it takes to teach and plan lessons for non-native English learners. The tutors were always willing to help and provided a lot of support. Students were given minimum four hours a week teaching, observed or unobserved. It is a great way to get your first experience of teaching in an understanding and positive environment. Would greatly recommend it!

Even though the course was quite intense, it was really fun and informative. I felt that the course gave us enough support during our teaching. however I feel that I could have gotten a bit more support with lesson planning. I would definitely recommend the course.

I debated taking an online, 40-hour certificate program and am so happy I chose OxfordTEFL instead! I received tremendous hands-on experience, lots of good input, feedback, developed a network of colleagues and career assistance. The experience of actually teaching classes, making mistakes and learning from them was crucial and would not have been found elsewhere!

This course was great, but they sort of threw you into a classroom without any real preparation. Also, the tutors were so busy with their own work that it was hard to get help from them outside the time allotted. Also, we learned a lot by making mistake after mistake rather than being taught the real proper way to do things until after we'd already been in the classroom for a week or two. I think the experience itself was great though and the tutors did attempt to support as much as they could. A lot of the input sessions were also very useful and helped a lot in learning the student's perspective.

Several great things you will learn doing your Oxford TEFL Certificate Course: except the excursion into the language (grammar, phonology, lexicology), you’ll get an idea how to interact with real students and you’ll experience all the feelings that a real student has when starts an unknown language... But the greatest thing is learning practical knowledge, not just learn the theories, but practicing regularly in front of your students! Lessons, and overall supervised teaching practice, gave me a more thorough awareness of what a teacher was supposed to be and to do. The feedback my tutors gave me proved to be the most useful part of the whole course. Sean and David’s support helped me develop my skills as an English teacher. Everyone in the staff was very supportive and friendly: Karin, Steve, Monika… I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to teach English. So if you want to jump right into your teaching, come and do it here, exploring the beautiful streets of Prague!

There are a lot of questionable tefl courses out there. This isn't one. Great support and a thorough programme. Tutors offer constructive criticism and are demanding but very supportive. Admin staff are also very friendly and helpful. What's more, you'll be doing the course in a beautiful city. The school was recommended to me by friends and colleagues and I would do the same without hesitation.

I thought that the course was good, wayyyyy too intense though, it could have been stretched over another week to take the pressure off! But I learnt soooo much and the tutors were always there to give additional help when needed. The teachers actually went above and beyond to give me extra help and make sure I had the information I needed!

I've had a great experience on the oxford Tefl Barcelona. I've always felt very well supported and felt the training is very appropriate and challenging - an ideal start to anyone's teaching career. I believe the class size is perfect to get a good dynamic for learning. All in all, the course has very much exceeded my expectations in every way.

The course is located in the heart of Prague! You couldn't find a more central location. Trainees are thrown into the fire and start teaching the second day. In my opinion, this is the best way to learn. A highlight of this program is the job assistance. During the third week, we had private resume workshops and the course director personally sent out our resume to over 50 schools in the area. Within hours, my inbox was full of responses and interview request.

This course, run over four weeks, is extremely enjoyable, demanding and rewarding. While it does cost a lot of money, any teacher training course that you can take that is of this standard is going to cost this much. It's very much a hands on experience. Right from the first day you are immersed in the course. You teach and you learn. The tutors providing the training are top class. They are vastly experienced and display passion for what they are doing. They also know how to lighten the load by making input sessions fun and interactive. Support in all areas, such as lesson planning, use of technology, searching for careers, is abundant. I have found it to be a truly rewarding and challenging experience.

The course was definitely worth the money. I started the course having had no prior teaching experience and little knowledge of the ins and outs of English grammar. In 4 weeks I have learnt so much and actually free more than prepared to teach. The teaching practice is scary at first but you soon begin to love the thrill of seeing the students (real language learners of all ages) using the language you have taught them! I would recommend this course but be aware it is intense but you get all the support you need. You get back what you put into it! Also the qualification is one of the best so you can take this anywhere and know you'll be able to get work.

Had a fantastic 4 weeks here at Oxford House in Barcelona. The course is extremely intensive but the support i received made it manageable. A fantastic learning experience, learned so much from some incredibly experienced and passionate Tutors. We were a small group and all got along well and have been a great support to each other. Looking forward to putting into practice my newly learned skills.

I would highly recommend this program to anyone considering getting an English language teaching certification. The program is very well designed and the tutors are super helpful and approachable. Be prepared for a challenging but rewarding experience.

This month long course opened my eyes to the methods of great teaching. OxfordTEFL offer fantastic tutor-trainee ratios, meaning the feedback and personal attention received is superb. The school is spacious, modern, and has all the equipment you could ask for. I heartily recommend it if you're considering studying for a TEFL abroad. The Trinity CertTESOL is without doubt fantastically informative, formative and practical.

Attending the course in Oxford TEFL Prague was the best decision. The tutors were really supportive and their feedback was very helpful. Every time we needed help, they were there for us. I really enjoyed the input sessions which were interesting, especially phonology. Everything was well organized and I had a great time. I didn’t expect it to be so intensive, but it was definitely worth it. Time flies really fast, when you are really busy, so it felt that I’d done the course in the blink of an eye!

I enjoyed the modules and the reading, as a lot of the content are up to date with current articles and teaching strategies that help me understand more about teaching English. The online course provides an abundant of resources that helps with the learning and understanding of what it takes to teach English. The assignments reflects what was taught and the one-on-one skype meetings and feedback really did help open my eyes to what I can do to improve and enhance my awareness to become a better teacher. I also like the fact that from each lesson after the next gives a better understanding of the previous lessons and in the end the accumulation of all the lessons prepares you for the final assignment after each module.

I went into this course already having teaching experience (studied elementary and special education), but no training in teaching English. For me, it was absolutely worth it. The course is very intensive but extremely practical. You begin teaching on day 2, but with supervision and hands-on support of your own tutor and any of the other tutors supporting during the daily lesson planning hour. I loved being able to apply the methods taught in input sessions right away in teaching practice. The speed is exhausting and you never feel like you have quite enough time to process and practice, but at the same time you grow so much in a month and gain a ton of confidence. There was some busywork involved, mainly the learner profile assignment, which seemed unnecessarily long, but in general the written output required is purposeful. We all switched teaching practice classes midway through the course - an added challenge, but really useful to practice teaching a different level. Overall highly recommended!

I just finished the Cert TESOL course... It was a lot of work in a very short amount of time, however I feel like I am prepared to find a job and start teaching right away. You will start teaching classes during the course, so you get hands on, real world experience from Day 1. There is A LOT of busy work, but it is mostly useful and keeps your mind thinking about teaching and how to improve. You will form amazing friendships - you spend a lot of time with the people in your class. And the support from Oxford House is wonderful! All of the tutors are knowledgeable and eager to help. The career support is lifelong and worldwide. Overall, a great program, just be prepared to put in long hours and remember that it only lasts for one month!

If you are interested in teaching English as a second language, or think you are, then the Online TEFL Starter course is for you. The course addresses all of the primary facets of teaching, learning, and the English language, and distills them into easily digestible pieces. These pieces, coupled with the expert guidance of the tutor, give you a clear idea of what to expect from the full course. Something else this course accomplishes is it shows you just how well prepared the Oxford TEFL team is to serve your needs, both during the course and after if you choose to pursue the full Cert TESOL. Go look at the websites of the competing language schools in the area, and what they offer. From the website layout and design, the responsiveness of the staff before, during and after the course, to the services and support they offer after the course, I would not consider any other school. My wife and I will be attending the full course in Prague in May 2017.

I took the 3 week online Oxford Tefl Business English Course. I found the materials and support very helpful, logic and clear. I had weekly Skype calls with my tutor who was very encouraging and useful in pointing out points of improvement. The information offered to me included useful links to sites to use for teaching, where I could find short videos, bits of interesting news to incorporate into my lessons. The modules based most of their lessons on videos which I found were very easy to follow and allowed you to go through the content quickly. The tasks I had to complete were always extremely relevant to the material I had been using while learning and they were really aimed at ensuring I had understood and was making the most of what I had been taught.

For me the Clil course was very interesting and useful as it provided me with essential tips for my daily practice. I found very interesting readings that helped me in my knowledge about Clil. Also, tutors are very helpful and kind. I highly recommend the Clil course!

I found my experience with Oxford TELF excellent. The school is big and the trainees have their own spaces where to work or relax during brakes. The course itself is very well-structured, it is an intensive course that's for sure, but the tutors and the course director do everything they can to make sure that you can cope with the amount of work. The resources available for the trainees are many and they go from books to board games to multimedia and clearly the experience of the tutors that work on the course. In conclusion, I strongly advise anybody who wants to get the Trinity Certificate in TESOL to do it at Oxford TEFL Barcelona!

The past four weeks have absolutely flown but have been both an enjoyable and valuable experience. The tutors at Oxford House Barcelona have been hugely supportive and welcoming, assisting and guiding in all areas of planning, preparation and materials before giving us that gentle push in the right direction of independence! Thank you Oxford Tefl!

I highly recommend this course to everyone who is looking for a dynamic, creative and interesting job! At first I was afraid of this sudden career turn but when I came here all the doubts had disappeared. The wonderful, multicultural city, amazing atmosphere in class and in OH in general, supportive tutors (very creative too!) and the best course mates I could ever imagine. Thank You, Oxford House, for this unforgettable experience!

So glad I took the opportunity to come to Prague and take this course! It is both challenging and rewarding. Great support from tutors and peers. Would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to teach abroad!

I signed up for the starter course - a great idea. Would recommend as a start to anyone wanting to pursue teaching as a career/someone who isn't sure about teaching will get a decent idea of the theory behind. The course is laid out in a easy a concise way and it's up to you whether you do the starter in one week, four or twelve! Throughout the process you will have a tutor with which you discuss any problems, any questions, etc... very helpful! It's online, so you won't have any in-class experience - for that go for the four week course. But all in all, brilliant experience, I've learnt a lot and even after the course I still have loads of stuff I am exploring. I wanted to carry on so I'm now going to do the full four week course. I'm pumped! Good job OxfordTEFL!

I did the OxfordTEFL course in Barcelona in June 2016. The teachers were highly competent and supportive and the program was rigorously planned and structured. The modules made me think about all aspects of teaching. Coming into this course I did not have any teaching experience, but it thoroughly prepared me for a teaching career and by the end of it I felt ready to enter a classroom. It's a demanding program but it's worth it and doing it in a city like Barcelona made it even more amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed my learning experience in Barcelona. I would definitely recommend it!

I found the EAP course enjoyable and useful. The modules covered a wide range of topics related to EAP and there were many options for the assignments. I found the discussion forums useful and getting feedback from the tutor on each assignment via Skype was also great. I feel more confident about teaching EAP after having taken this course.

The CertTESOL course at Oxford TEFL provides everything an aspiring TEFL teacher could hope for: teaching experience at a range of levels from the first week of the course, interesting projects such as elementary lessons in an unknown language (very fun!) and excellent, clear input lessons on the intricacies of the English language. In addition to the core element of teacher-training, some of the skills you will learn on this course, such as public speaking, personal organisation, and self-analysis, are attributes which can be applied to any walk of life and altogether make for a great experience. You will be able to talk for hours in any future job interviews! It is true that you will be doing some work at the weekends/in the evenings on projects throughout the four weeks of the course, but keep yourself organised from the start and you can certainly maintain the perfect balance between work and social life. Barcelona, for those who haven't been, is easily one of the best cities in Europe (the best, in my personal experience so far) and having the backdrop of a vibrant, energetic city with beaches and bars on your doorstep while you study certainly means you always have something to look forward to after a hard day of teaching or working on a project. If you're thinking of applying, do it!

I have had a great experience studying for my tefl at Oxford Tefl in Barcelona. The course has been intense but well managed so I didn't feel overwhelmed at any point. I would really recommend this course as the tutors are really experienced and yet approachable and I feel I have learned a great amount in the last month.

The CertTESOL Course at the OxfordTEFL Barcelona has been a really nice experience. It has been a really intense month learning interesting and varied subjects. The team was of huge help in a professional and in a personal way and the atmosphere during the course could not have been better. I have the feeling that I worked so hard during this month, that I can't really imagine how many information and knowledge has been given to us. However, even if the course was really intense, the program was prepared to help us deal with it in a relaxed and unstressed way. I would definitely take the course again if I could. That's a fruitful experience that I would recommend to anybody that wants to become a professional teacher!

I did the Trinity Certificate as a teacher having already taught extensively in France. Professional support is virtually non-existent in this country and the course at Oxford House was exactly what I needed even though an eyebrow or two were raised when I enrolled. I couldn't recommend it more highly. The trainers are all extremely supportive and always ready to listen. Thank you! They get everybody to think about teaching on every level be this lesson-planning or student rapport. They are providing training for a reputable teaching certificate and never lose sight of this. They inspire whilst keeping students firmly on the ground and aiming at getting everybody to give their best. I am leaving the course with renewed energy, eyes open and a real desire to teach English. And mustn't forget, all the students I got to teach were delightful!

I've recently completed the Teaching Exam Classes online course. It was great! I'm an experienced teacher, but the course still provided appropriate content that I could apply directly to my new teaching assignment. The course materials were current and provided some background theory with lots of ideas for practical applications. I work full-time, but the workload with the course fit my schedule well. The weekly Skype tutorials were immensely helpful! It was obvious that my tutor had gone through my work carefully and had a lot of experience with exam classes.

Although the course was very intense, it was very comprehensive in providing me with the necessary tools and methodologies for moving forward as a teacher. I feel much more prepared in tackling a classroom now than I had been before. Throughout the course, all the teachers were very informative and helpful. I very much enjoyed my learning experience at Oxford House and would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in teaching English as a second language.

I entered this course with trepidation, as I have never done an "online" course in my life. As a busy teacher, teaching in an institution still in flux and facing constant change, I was afraid to commit to yet another demand on my time. However, as it turned out, the course was able to accommodate me and my busy schedule. Often times, I found I had to trade off between my responsibilities as a full-time teacher and my desire to finish the course. Overall, I found, the course quite timely as our college starts its business course offerings. I had wanted to explore Business English for years, but the introduction of the new program gave me another reason to pursue a course. I learned a great deal about teaching business English and had a sense of affirmation when I found that there was a lot of overlap between EFL and Business English. Also, I was introduced to a number of internet sites and applications, some of which I was already aware of but hadn't used before. Using and trying out these new internet sites and applications was also timely as our college looks toward a "flipped" classroom experience and the use of tablets for instruction. Lastly, my tutor was very helpful and encouraging. She understood my situation and made me feel at ease in completing the course. She was also very patient with me and my challenges with information technology. Great experience!

I recently have completed this course, and as a beginner teacher it had helped me to develop my teaching skills and to reach a better understanding about proper English teaching. I would highly recommend it to every newly English teacher.

Had a great time doing the Trinity CertTESOL in Kerala. It was a completely new experience for me, both academically and culturally. The tutors were really supportive and analysed our teaching practice critically. Their feedback helped me to improve my teaching to a great extent. Since this is a five week course, you get plenty of time to explore Kerala as well, during weekends. P.S. Everything is super cheap here, especially food!

I was trainer in a BPO when I decided to get a TESOL certificate. I'd been teaching for over a decade but I really didn't expect the course to blow me away. It was way more than I ever expected. The only thing that I'd expected was it to be high pressure but I can say that this course has taken me several levels higher in terms of understanding student needs, course and class preparation, and learning methods. The practical (active-live) classes are an excellent way to practice what we have learnt and to iron-out the common mistakes that we make that can take away the student's learning opportunities. The course has given proper training vocabulary and strategies to implement classes according to the student's needs. Great course material, AWESOME teachers and a really good library.

I am an English teacher from India. I always like to learn new things and this course has completely come up to my expectations. In spite of the long experience that i have, i learnt a lot from this course. I think all the teachers or the people who wish to teach English must take the course.

The course was a very good introduction to Teaching English for Academic Purposes (EAP) and I'm very pleased I took the course. It introduced me to lots of useful resources and the course helped me to contemplate their use in an EAP context. The support from my tutor was very good and I would recommend this course to others wanting to move into the EAP sector.

Well organised course, great tutorial support, manageable tasks and activities that fitted around the day job. Overall a good experience. One that provides a taster for EAP work for those new to the area.

Thanks to the input sessions after every lesson, I realized strengths and talents I hadn't before. At the same time I felt a drive to achieve better outcomes in the classroom and received help planning and actualizing these goals throughout the course. Everyone, from staff to faculty, at Oxford House Prague helped in any way they could and at all times to make this the one stop spot for TESOLCert. yay! for them! Seriously, this must be one of the best places to get your TESOL cert... A+

A great experience. The tutors really cared and gave very useful feedback on practical teaching. 100% recommended. It was a very thorough course with theoretical and practical concepts... It was not easy as the workload can be intense but this is relevant to all certified courses... you come out of it ready to teach, which is the main thing!

Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this course. Having read previous reviews of this course the repeated point is the intensity and amount of the work however the support you are given and the help from lecturers and classmates makes this all manageable. The people I have met and the teachers we have been helped by have made this an incredibly enjoyable experience. Every teacher bringing something different to the class room which as a student you can then incorporate in your own lessons. I would highly recommend this course to anyone that wants to find a new career path and wants to better their own personal skills. I would like to thank all the teachers we have come into contact with and helped us through this month. It has been stressful and there is a lot of work but the sense of achievement and experiences you encounter throughout the course make it all worth while.

The course was extremely intense and exhausting but it has been an excellent training considering the course is only four weeks long. The course manages to give you a good training in teaching and lesson planning as well as providing lessons on things you need to know to be a English teacher such as grammar and phonology.

The month course is very intense and you have to be prepared for working really hard. They teach you the skills you need to stand up in front of a class and teach English. It was challenging but has been totally worth it.

The CertTESOL course at Oxford TEFL covers all the bases of teaching English, and the highly trained staff are there to guide you through every step of the way. There's a lot of work to be covered, as you learn about the different aspects of linguistics at the same time as planning and delivering lessons to local English learners. The course is very hands-on and you should be prepared to work hard, but there's a lot of support and you can always rely on your fellow coursemates when you need to. I've made some really good friends on the course and learned a lot from the staff at Oxford TEFL. I've enjoyed my time on the course and feel equipped with the necessary experience to go out into the world of teaching.

My time at Oxford House doing ther TrinCert TESOL has been fantastic. The tutors are top class and very approachable, at no point in the course did I feel like I had to struggle alone or that I was being talked down to. The modules are really engaging and get you really thinking about every aspect of teaching. The course can seem intense at times but at no point did I feel as though I would be left by the wayside. Overall I'd say the month I spent learning at Oxford House was fantastic and being in the heart of Barcelona helps as well!

The course is perfectly structured to experience the TEFL world. It thoroughly prepares you to a teaching career, giving the basic skills you need to work, but much more importantly giving you the instruments to reflect and improve. The course is very demanding and requires personal organization and a strong motivation, but it is well worth it. Overall an amazing experience.

This course has taught me all I need to know in order to become a good teacher and then some! The program is designed for students to learn progressively, but that doesn't mean you can party around Barcelona during the course ;) It's a great opportunity to meet new people and find friends for life!

The quality of the tutors is excellent, they are all specialists in their fields, the course is well structured and well distributed over the 4 weeks. The workload is intense but manageable if you are motivated. A great learning environment. An very intensive course but tons of support and the staff is always available for that little bit extra. I would highly recommend it both for trainee teachers and learners who are looking for well trained teachers.

From day two I was already teaching students. The most important thing was that I got a lot of practice time. Besides, I was able to watch some of my classmates while they were teaching. I recommend this course for anyone that wants to learn to teach English.

Hello, everyone. My name is Iman. I just completed the Tefl Online Starter course, and I wanted to say how pleased I am with the treatment and exemplary tutor support that I received from this center. I had searched for several "pre" training courses that would assist me in preparing for my future in teaching. I found an excellent training facility in Oxford TEFL.The staff were very prompt in sending information and in response to whatever questions that I sent in. My assignments were graded promptly, and I received excellent feedback and guidance along the way. I look forward to training with them in future courses, and I would recommend anyone the courses that Oxford TEFL has to offer.

Thank you OxfordTEFL! I have just completed the TESOL course and would highly recommend it. Although the course is very intensive, it has been a great experience and has prepared me for the world of TEFL. The tutors and teachers are very experienced, friendly and supportive and are always on hand to help. :)

I have just completed the TESOL training and highly recommend it to anyone wanting to become an instructor of English. Although the program is rigorous and demanding, the school makes it possible for students to receive the necessary support throughout the program. The mentors and school instructors were also willing and available to help out. Another great plus of the program is the access to a wide array of materials to work with. Most importantly, I valued the methodology being taught: A student-centered approach to learning that is more cutting-edge and effective. The training gets high marks from me!

I used to be very sceptical about teaching classes in general but this course persuaded me that great teachers can handle any size of the class. I met some amazing teachers here who inspired me to work hard on my own professional development. They didn't give me anything for free, I had to work smarter and harder to achieve the qualification, but they also gave me all possible support. I know that there are courses of varying quality in Prague but this one is a save bet. Btw. don't even think about online courses. No physical teaching practise equals a bad teacher.

After doing some extensive research I chose to study at Oxford TEFL Prague, learning that it’s the only accredited course in Prague that offers Trinity Certificate in TESOL. (Trinity TESOL qualifications are widely recognized by employers around the world.) When I made the decision to become a certified English teacher, I was excited but mostly nervous. Even though I’ve been using English a great portion of my life, being a non-native speaker a part of me felt that I wasn’t the most appropriate person to be instructing English. In addition, I had doubts that a four-week course could genuinely help someone become a “well-rounded” teacher. To my great relief, Oxford TEFL Prague, with it’s highly qualified trainers and cozy atmosphere, helped me release all my anxieties and ease into the process of becoming a language instructor. The course was very intense, but it prepared me well. I’ve gained insights into many different teaching tools and methodologies and I had plenty of opportunity for hands-on teaching practice with real students. I went into the course feeling insecure but came out a confident and self-sufficient certified English teacher. Within a few weeks of graduation I received several job offers, and currently I’m working at different language schools, teaching students of varying ages and levels, and I love it. Oxford TEFL Prague is the best! I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to get a TESOL/TEFL certificate.

From the very first day you are immersed in teaching - observing experienced teachers, who throughout the course, help to develop your skills when teaching your own lessons. Whilst it was intense and daunting at times, it was also extremely rewarding. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is thinking of teaching English.

While browsing for the most appealing course, in the land of TEFL it might be hard to see the wood for the trees. Of course you could do an online course, but there won't be any theory out there to help you when you're trying to convey the message as a rookie in front of the classroom. Because real-life experience is key, I am very glad I found Oxford House. The professional tutors provided me with tons of tips, gave us trainees clear instructions, were always enthusiastic and created a nice atmosphere. You gain a lot of confidence in the end while teaching, since you have lots of opportunities to create your own lessons and you have time to find out whatever (doesn't) works for you. The certificates of this school are also recognized and moderated by Trinity College London, and that is definitely a plus while applying as a TEFL teacher. Still have any doubts? Just do it. Yes the course is intense, but even if you'll never teach for the rest of your life, you'll still obtain some extremely useful management skills, meet some great people and have a lot of fun in one of the most fairytale-like cities I have ever seen!

This was an intense but very effective course. I can't believe how much I've developed and learnt in just four weeks. Tutors are brilliant, and offer a range of styles which have inspire me in different ways. Feedback is given constantly, and all the tutors are always available for further help if needed. The course is well structured. The first few lessons were daunting, as they come before much training. But our teaching skills are quickly developed through feedback and input on so many aspects of teaching. The most effective, fun and unique aspect of the training is that we are taught with the techniques we're learning. It was always useful to see a demonstration of techniques as we learnt them. Overall I've had a brilliant experience and have learnt so much in such a short space of time.

The program itself is well structured, thorough, yet intensive like the listing says online. The faculty is extremely nice, helpful and knowledgeable. The facilities are also very well kept and there is plenty of resources.

With a mountain of programs to choose from in Barcelona, Oxford TEFL met exceeded my expectations. From start to finish we were with experienced instructors who guide you through the the course and make the info very accessible for experienced and beginner teachers alike. The facility is top notch and comfortable and there are countless resources and materials at your disposal to further teacher development.

This was a very labor and time intensive course, but it was well worth it. The tutors have tons of experience and are well equipped to help along the way. The course provides you with all building blocks to become a teacher and gives you plenty of practice. Being centrally located in beautiful Barcelona certainly doesn't work against it.

The TEFL-course at Oxford House is very intense and time consuming but it was a great experience and I am glad I did this course as I got to teach some great students and meet some great new people. I would recommend this course to any interested in becoming an English teacher.

I just completed the CertTESOL course through OxfordHouse Barcelona, and I found it to be a great TEFL preparation program. They have a great facility located in the center of Barcelona, and they provide their trainees with a variety of resources, both in house and online. I found the input sessions to be informative and helpful in understanding which methods to use in order to effectively teach a lesson. Feedback sessions were instrumental in focusing on individual strengths and areas of improvement. Overall, a great experience.

Hi there, I'm Elena and I've just completed CertTESOL in Barcelona. Apart from great location, this school has all sorts of modern facilities (beamer, computer with internet access, climate control in each room) and provides you with a wide range of course books and online resourses. The course is structured in a way that all information from the input sessions you can at once implement in your own lessons. Feedback sessions were of a great help, as the tutors (who are experiencesd and creative professionals) give you guidelines and ideas on planning and improving your future lessons. All in all it was an incredibly useful experience and also fun to meet new pleople with different backgrounds from all over the world :)

After researching many different TEFL courses in Prague, I decided for the OxfordTEFL largely because of the Trinity College London CertTESOL certification. It is recognized worldwide and it definitely helped me find a job. The course itself is very well organized and very intensive. It will keep you on your toes and push you to learn quickly and efficiently. A part of the course is dedicated to putting you into the shoes of your students by teaching you a foreign language. This helped me a lot both from the analytical and emotional perspective. The quality of the teachers was second to none and they amazingly showcase different approaches to excellent teaching. They provide amazing training and you will definitely learn a lot and get the knowledge, skills and confidence to pursue teaching as a career. If you're considering taking a TEFL course, I'd definitely recommend OxfordTEFL.

Honestly, If genuineTEFL/TESOL accreditation is what you are looking for with real teaching practice, good tutoring, limitless back up resources, great general atmosphere; look no further. You won't regret going coming here. Just ready for all the work, though as the one month Cert TESOL course is not for the faint-hearted. But then, as the saying does, "nothing goes for nothing".

- Highly professional teacher trainers in regards of subject teaching, experience and psychological support (they are Stars); - Fabulous study facilities in the heart of Barcelona (plenty of modern classrooms with climate-control, office equipment that's always available and on-line, any accessories you may need for lesson planning, good library, and a large open-air garden within the premises); - Pre and post studies support (Visa/NIE, after studies employment) Couldn't find a better school for this course. Great value for money! Egor Buz.

I would this course all over again in Barcelona. The teachers and staff were highly professional, dedicated and enthusiastic. Oxford House provides great technology and have an extensive variety of resources . Teacher's guidance was always available and the course was well structured. We had enough opportunity to observe more classes and receive feedback from teachers. The classrooms were nice and user friendly.

I did the CertTESOL course with OxfordTEFL and completely loved it. The building was really lovely and the technology was solid. Every single person I met who worked there - either with us trainees or just at the school - was extremely nice and supportive. If you got stressed out or worried about something, there was someone to talk to who was extremely nice (and practical, which I always appreciate) about the situation. You get really fantastic, hands-on teaching experience with different levels and there are loads of opportunities to watch trained teachers run classes. They had quite a lot of books to plan lessons through and it is really helpful to be able to say at interviews "Oh, yes, I've worked with x and am familiar with y". I feel like by the end of the course, we all had received an in-depth, well-rounded training to prepare us to teach English anywhere we wished to go. This course was a great choice that I would make all over again and I would encourage anyone else looking for a TEFL certification to go through OxfordTEFL. It is well-worth the time and money.

After researching everything I could about TEFL courses, I decided to go with OxfordTEFL. One of the primary reasons was that it is Trinity-certified, which meant that the certification will be recognized worldwide. I am really glad I made this decision because they provided me with the tools necessary to succeed in this industry. I learned a LOT to say the least. I always found getting up in front of a group of people nerve-wracking, but this experience has changed me. I can now be in front of a group of people and feel confident. The tutors were extremely helpful and easily approachable. We were also able to put ourselves in our students’ shoes by learning a completely different language. So…if you’re thinking about taking a TEFL course, don’t look any further than OxfordTEFL.

If you’re feeling a little overwhelmed by the amount of TEFL courses available and don’t know which one to choose, just give yourself a break, read these reviews and go with Oxford TEFL. You most definitely won’t regret it. It’s not often that I give something a 10/10 score, but for Oxford I will happily make an exception  I did my tefl course in Prague in January 2014 and it’s amazing how much I’ve learned there in only four weeks. There are lessons about all the different basic teaching skills. These input sessions were never boring thanks to the engaging (and effective!) exercises and the tutors’ great sense of humour. And of course there’s the teaching practice with different groups and different levels of English, which is truly invaluable. Although it was a very intense course, the tutors made sure it was never too much. They give great input and feedback and are very approachable. If you need help, they are there for you. Also, the service is great. I really liked the apartment rented out by the school. They can arrange an airport pick-up and if you have any questions before the course starts, you’ll always get a quick response to your email. I really enjoyed my month at Oxford TEFL in Prague (which is an incredibly beautiful city by the way) and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to start teaching English.

Don’t even think of going to any other organization! Oxford TEFL is the best one out there. On top of the fact that the teachers, here in Prague, are fun, experienced, and extremely helpful, it is accredited by Trinity (I believe to be one of the highest accreditation agencies and is accepted everywhere). The course is extensive, so get ready to do some work. By the second or third day you are teaching right away, which at first is nerve-racking but extremely helpful for you to get the most time in training as a teacher. There is a helpful library of student/teacher books, computers, and office supplies with a copier/printer which allows for a conducive environment for lesson planning. Also you cycle through different teacher trainers, which all have different styles of teaching. This is the best way to get a diverse view of what techniques you enjoy and create your own teaching style. Everything you need to know about the course is on the website. Why choose anywhere else?

My four weeks at Oxford TEFL were incredible, exhausting, exciting, fun... to name a few! The quality of the trainers was second to none and gave me the confidence and knowledge to pursue teaching as a career. I wouldn't change my experience for the world and I'd recommend Oxford TEFL to everyone!

I got my TEFL certificate in Oxford TEFL in Prague. The staff a super friendly, supportive and help you find jobs after the course! I love Prague too, there's great nightlife and its easy to meet people here. I'm still in Prague working as a teacher and I got a great bunch of friends really easily.
