Program Overview

TtMadrid's Program I is the perfect choice for non-EU citizens who want to earn an accredited TEFL qualification, obtain a student visa for Spain, and immerse themselves in Spanish life. Delivered in partnership with Universidad Europea del Atlántico, this one-year postgraduate program combines world-class teacher training with cultural and language learning.

You’ll begin with our 180-hour, Ofqual-regulated Level 5 TEFL course. The hybrid format comprises 65 hours of online study and a two-week intensive in Madrid, plus six observed teaching practices with real students. This ensures you graduate with a qualification that is globally recognized and practical skills that make you classroom-ready.

You'll also study Spanish: four weeks of intensive classes followed by seven months of evening lessons. These will help you connect with the culture and feel at home in Madrid.

With your University student visa, you can legally work up to 30 hours a week while studying. We provide lifetime job assistance, including CV guidance, guaranteed interviews, and ongoing job alerts.

This program is a comprehensive package with everything you need to launch your new life in Spain.

Amazing Certification and Community!

My experience at TtMadrid was exceptional. Not only does the program provide a top-tier TEFL certification, but it truly extends far beyond the classroom. The staff is incredibly supportive, ensuring a seamless transition into both life in Madrid and the teaching world. They offer everything from interview training to practical help setting up bank accounts and phone plans. The community built here is, without a doubt, the best part - it turns a potentially scary move into an easy, well-supported adventure. I highly recommend TtMadrid to anyone considering becoming a teacher and moving to Spain!
