Overview

The EBC International TEFL Certificate course will qualify you to teach English as a foreign language and give you the hands on experience you need to get quality TESOL TEFL jobs throughout the world. The course comprises 150 hours, a significant part spent on supervised group teaching practice, peer group and individual teaching sessions.

The basis for the EBC International TEFL Certificate course is Communicative Language Teaching (CLT). CLT is a comprehensive, communicative approach that values fluency, keeping learners productively using English in the classroom, and enabling them to take responsibility for their own learning.

The main asset for anyone wishing to teach abroad is their knowledge of English, and accredited English teachers are in constant demand. Accredited TESOL TEFL teachers can find a ready market for their skills in most business corporations and educational institutions.

Philanthropy

EBC practices philanthropy by helping our own community. EBC strives to develop the tradition of philanthropy with our employees, and we set the standard by being a good corporate citizen. Giving back is more than feeling obligated to donate time or money once a year. It's a change in attitude that results from becoming more attuned to the needs of others.

• EBC does not charge for the teaching practice you give during the course. Some TEFL training companies charge reduced rates for people attending classes given by trainee teachers;
• Today, English is a vital language skill, so the teaching practice you give is invaluable in helping people improve their lives.

In our small way, EBC wants to give something back to our community through education.
