TESOL Training International's 120 Hour in class training course is internationally recognized and accredited. We run monthly training sessions at our training center in Cebu, Philippines.  

TESOL Training International - Cebu's 120 Hour TESOL/TEFL Training Course

There are a dizzying number of TESOL course providers and the recognition, or validity, of their TEFL and TESOL certificates vary considerably. However, there are only a few international organizations that are truly well established, recognized and internationally accredited—one of them is TESOL Training International under its parent company Internexus Global Network Education in San Diego California, USA.


TESOL Certificate

The vast majority of English language schools and institutes around the world require 120 hours of training completed by an externally moderated and accredited organization that meets international regulatory standards.

In order to meet these standards laid down by organizations such as TESOL in the USA and the British Council in the UK, TEFL or TESOL courses must include at least six hours of observed and constructively critiqued TESOL lessons with non-native speakers as their students.

Believe it or not, many providers simply have trainees delivering lessons to fellow trainees!

The course should also offer dynamic lessons for the trainees themselves, covering all aspects of TESOL, including methodology, language awareness, among others and have a grading system based on performance teaching as well as on a final exam.


International TESOL Training

By holding certification from a well-known organization, potential employers can see that you’ve completed a reputable TESOL course which included six hours of observed teaching practice, that you completed all projects and assignments outlined in the course, and that the delivery of your lessons was of a high standard.

Many providers offer shorter, weekend courses that don’t meet international standards. If you take these courses and your potential employer asks about your certificate, they’ll easily see that your course did not offer the same features as those needed for meaningful certification. If you take one of these courses, it’s important to understand that a certificate from this type of course may not get you many job offers from decent employers.

Therefore, if you plan to teach English abroad, it is to your benefit as well as the benefit of your students, that you enroll in a course that meets international standards.

Practical Teaching Experience

We know that the best English teachers are not simply book smart, but can deliver the necessary information in an engaging way while truly connecting with their students. This is why we focus heavily on the practical teaching experience element in our in-class TEFL certification courses. During these sessions, trainees will have the opportunity to interact with real ESL students and practice teaching what they have learned.

Furthermore, we offer our trainees instruction in a previously unlearned foreign language so they can better understand what it feels like to be in the student's shoes. This, along with the student profile portion of the course, creates empathy and equips the trainees with the skills they will need to establish the necessary rapport with their students in the future. During the student profile portion in particular, each trainee is matched with an individual student with whom they will work throughout the course. The trainee will meet the student multiple times and ultimately create a profile on him/her, after which the trainee can complete a private lesson with the student.

Course Materials

We will provide all classroom materials, including a primary course manual which covers language awareness/grammar, classroom management, phonetics, and teaching skills.
