Our Combined TEFL Course allows you to obtain your TEFL certification to teach English abroad at a pace that suits you and your schedule. Using our combined TEFL course partner, TeacherLink, you’ll have access to online materials and videos when ever you need them. Once your online work is complete you can begin your onsite teacher training in Phuket, Thailand, where you’ll attend lectures, observe lessons, receive guided lesson planning and deliver six lessons to real English students.
With our Combined course option, you’ll save money and still get valuable teaching experience.
This course is a great option for anyone who:
- Does well with self study, but who also values teaching practice in a real classroom
- Would like to spend time working within Thai culture before getting a job in Thailand
- Has already been teaching but wants to benefit from structured ELT training
- May not have the time available for one month of study in Phuket, Thailand
- Needs to receive an internationally recognized TEFL/TESOL certificate

Our combined TEFL course includes
Online Study: You’ll learn about teaching theory and methodology, build language awareness and start to plan lessons in the comfort of your own home and at pace which suits your schedule. You’ll complete tasks at the end of course units, ensuring complete understanding of the materials and topics covered.
Onsite Training: You’ll attend classroom discussions, observe experienced teachers, learn from guided lesson planning, deliver your own lessons and watch peers teach. This is done over two weeks and you’ll have a three-day weekend which you can use to explore Phuket and the surrounding area.
