What is included in this Course
Apart from its 11 Core Modules, the 180-Hour Certificate in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) Course also includes the Gallery Teachers 20-hour Language Awareness Course as an introduction to grammar rules and terminology that will boost your confidence and pre-course knowledge, by raising your language awareness.
This is important because the TEFL course is a teaching methodology programme, not a language course; therefore, there will be no explicit grammar teaching during the course. There will however be references to grammar terminology and concepts throughout the course, in particular in the Teaching Grammar Module. The Language Awareness Course will give you an overview of grammar and help you understand the important grammar points in order to prepare you for the course.
You will have access to the grammar module throughout the course as a reference.
Also included is our popular Basic Safeguarding Awareness Course, which will boost your CV as respectable employers around the world will most probably require you to have a safeguarding certificate.
Furthermore, this course will give you one year full access to the Gallery Teachers CPD Library that includes over 100 webinars delivered twice weekly, workshops and live sessions, with some presentations designed specifically to supplement the different Core Modules, while others will help you develop beyond the course.
Finally, you will have an opportunity to join the Gallery Teachers community and share ideas and experiences with other TEFL trainees as well as more experienced teachers from around the world via our Discussion Forums.
At the end of the course, you will get an Ofqual Accredited Certificate issued jointly by Gallery Teachers and telc, including your full name, the total number of hours of TEFL training you have completed, course modules, date and an individual verification number.
Embossed hard copy certificate is also available free of charge (postage fee not included).
With our basic level course, you will still receive the highest-quality training while having the option to upgrade to our Ofqual regulated level 3 or level 5 course. It offers the perfect value and flexibility and is still highly recognised worldwide.
