Our 4 week, externally accredited TEFL course is held at our training centre in a wealthy district of Toulouse, overlooking the beautiful Jardin de Plantes. The course is entirely in class (with little to no online element) and contains 150 hours of classroom contact with trainers, including at least 6 hours observed teaching practice, teaching local French students.
