INTESOL was the first TESOL/TEFL training provider to offer its Cert TESOL course trainees studying by distance learning the option to take a full week of observed teaching practice. We have subsequently been able to develop a TEFL/TESOL course that will significantly enhance your skills and confidence not only in the classroom, but also during job interviews.

This TEFL/TESOL course is ideal if you value the flexibility of studying by supported distance learning, but also want to gain experience and confidence in the classroom before accepting your first teaching job. The Teaching Practice Certificate is a one-week or two-week onsite observed and assessed teaching practice programme. By adding this option to the Cert TESOL by distance learning, it means you can really experience the best of both worlds.

Teaching practice centres are available in the UK in London and Great Yarmouth, and internationally in USA, Spain, Mexico, Costa Rica, Peru and Hong Kong. You may also organise teaching practice with your own designated school, provided they are prepared to complete and submit the required assessment forms.

- At least 18 years of age
- Qualifications that will allow entry to Higher Education. Mature students lacking in formal qualifications but with significant life/work experiences will be assessed on an individual basis
- Native speaker or near native speaker of any nationality

Career Guidance:
We believe a learning programme is not complete without support in helping you launch your career. That's why INTESOL offers the services of a specialist in-house careers service via our sister organisation HuntESL, whose goal is to equip you with all the skills and information you need to get your foot on the TEFL career ladder. Many students launch their new career before even completing their studies; therefore support starts during the programme and continues for as long as you require it, even after completing your course.

We can provide students with a comprehensive listing of overseas language schools, agencies, recruiters, and web sites advertising over 20,000 teaching jobs every month. Our centres in Barcelona, Cusco, San Jose, Mexicoand Prague have affiliated language schools that hire graduates every month. Though employment is not guaranteed, excellent opportunities do exist for talented INTESOL graduates within these schools. Opportunities also exist form time to time in our UK language schools.

There are several accommodation options available in London. Our trainees are usually accommodated in the 1st or 2nd zone of the City, close to the school and various City attractions.

University Campus:  This option is ideal for students who want to live in the same building where all the classes take place. The campus has an excellent location: it is in the heart of the city, close to the most important tourist attractions, clubs, restaurants, galleries, shops, etc. The residence has twin rooms and single rooms available, with or without a meal plan. 

Private Accommodation:  This is the least expensive accommodation option in London. The public transport system in London is excellent: you can use the tube, trains or buses; they all operate very well and take you to your destination very quickly, no matter where you live.

Hotels & Hostels:  The price of this type of accommodation in London usually depends on the type and rating of the hotel/hostel.
