Some people prefer the traditional classroom courses in order to get familiar with the place they would like to teach and be able to interact face to face with their teachers and peers.

However, online courses are very popular due to their flexibility in terms of schedule and where you can teach, with most countries accepting online certificates of at least 100 hours.

For the best of both worlds, the IDELT Online provides virtual interaction with teachers and peers, university level courses equivalent to the CELTA and IDELT, and the flexibility to take the course part time while you work or study.

Whichever course you choose, you can rest assured that all of our certificates are internationally recognized and we have helped place students in TEFL jobs abroad all over the world*!
