120-Hour Accredited TEFL Certification
The foundation of Advanced Online Teacher Training is our comprehensive 120-hour TEFL certification. Designed for aspiring online English teachers, the course equips you with the practical knowledge, teaching techniques and confidence needed to deliver engaging online lessons.
You'll explore everything from lesson planning and classroom management to grammar, pronunciation, language skills and effective teaching methodologies. Each module has been written specifically to prepare you for teaching English as a foreign language in an online environment.
Study entirely online and progress at your own pace. Once completed, you'll receive an internationally recognised CPD-accredited certificate that demonstrates your teaching knowledge and commitment to professional development.
30-Hour Supervised Teaching Practicum
One of the biggest challenges new teachers face is gaining experience. That's why Advanced Online Teacher Training includes a supervised 30-hour Teaching Practicum, giving you the opportunity to put your new skills into practice before applying for teaching roles.
Throughout the practicum you'll teach 10 one-hour lessons to real learners, apply the methodologies covered in your TEFL course, receive constructive feedback from experienced tutors and build the confidence needed to teach independently online.
This practical experience helps bridge the gap between studying and teaching professionally, giving you a stronger foundation than a TEFL certificate alone.
Many online teaching companies prefer candidates who have already taught lessons and can demonstrate practical teaching skills. Completing a supervised practicum helps you stand out when applying for online teaching opportunities.
Four Live Small-Group Career Mentorship Sessions
Completing your qualification is only the beginning. Advanced Online Teacher Training includes four live mentorship sessions designed to help you transition from student to professional online English teacher.
Your mentor will guide each small group of four to six participants, providing practical advice, constructive feedback and guidance tailored to your goals. Whether you're changing careers, looking for a flexible remote income or preparing for your first online teaching interview, you'll receive personalised support every step of the way.
