The TEFL Institute · Schools and Sixth Forms
Teach your students to teach.
A 120-Hour, internationally recognised TEFL qualification that runs quietly alongside A levels. Students study at their own pace, you can track their progress, and they finish sixth form with a qualification that opens doors to global opportunities - and something on their CV that very few of their peers will have.

Where could this actually take you
Most teach abroad routes want a degree, so we have split the answer into what you can do at eighteen and what the certificate banks for later. No sales pitch, just the rules as they stand.
Where could this take you
Three routes matched to what you say you want, with the age and qualification rules attached to each.

Sixty seconds of the actual course
Five questions taken from the grammar and classroom modules. Not a personality quiz. These are the kinds of decisions a teacher makes in front of a room.
The 60 second taster
Get one wrong and you will still learn something. That is rather the point of the course.
What schools ask us first
No. The course is self paced online with six months of access. Schools typically give it a weekly enrichment slot or let students complete it during their own time.
One member of staff watching a progress dashboard. It is delivered online and marked by us, each student has a tutor who can support them.
They keep whatever they have completed and can carry on until their access runs out. Because the assessment is by module quiz rather than a single terminal exam, a student who gets to module seven still has seven modules of genuine work to talk about.
The course itself can be taken by sixth form students. What changes with age is what you can do with it afterwards. Paid teaching abroad almost always requires you to be eighteen, and a great many countries also require a degree for the work visa. The student pages are explicit about that so nobody is sold a false promise.
Each of the ten modules ends in a quiz students can retake, and the work is marked by us.
£95 per student for 5 to 14 students, £75 for 15 to 29 and £55 for 30 to 49. Above 50 we price the cohort individually. The calculator on this page shows the total for your group.
Yes. Some schools run it as a funded enrichment strand, others put the course on the optional list and let families pay the school who purchase their courses in bulk on their behalf, allowing them to access the school rate. Both work and we can set either up.
An externally accredited qualification (Online Teaching Course Accreditation Committee), 120 CPD credits accredited by The CPD Group, and each student's progress record from the staff dashboard.

A note from Chloe
Hello! I’m Chloe, and I look after Schools and Partnerships here in the UK.
I work with Heads of Sixth Form, Enrichment and Careers teams to bring a little something extra to life beyond the classroom.
I know schools are always looking for ways to help students stand out, broaden their horizons and get a head start on life beyond school. Whether that’s strengthening a UCAS application, adding something different to their CV or exploring opportunities they might never have considered, TEFL can help tick a lot of those boxes.
We’ve created a 120-hour TEFL qualification specifically for Sixth Form students. It’s completed online, at their own pace, and fits neatly around A levels, enrichment sessions or independent study. You can keep an eye on their progress, while we take care of the teaching, assessment and tutoring. One less thing on your plate!
It also supports Gatsby Benchmarks 4 and 7, linking learning to careers and giving students the chance to explore further training.
Fancy bringing a little TEFL to your school? I’d love to have a virtual cuppa, hear what you’re looking to achieve and explore how we could make it work for your students. Get in touch today.
Warm wishes,
Chloe
