The Organization
International TEFL and TESOL Training works with some of
the world's largest TESOL/TEFL certificate course providers
(including TEFL International and The International TEFL
Corporation) to offer the opportunity to take an
internationally recognized certificate program in an
interesting and exotic location abroad or online.
We understand that choosing a TEFL/TESOL training course
can be quite a daunting prospect. In our quest to raise the
standards of TEFL/TESOL teaching world-wide, we offer
several components unique to ITTT and TEFL International
(our in-class course provider). As you will see in more detail
on the following pages, the hours of observed teaching
practice to local, non-native English speakers during our inclass courses is exceptionally high.
Also included in your training will be comprehensive
language awareness (grammar) and phonology training.
This prepares teachers for many grammatical and linguistic
issues that students will face in the classroom. These features, along with the various options available to complete your
certificate, guaranteed job placement guidance upon graduation, and accommodation provided for all in-class courses,
make International TEFL and TESOL Training one of the most modern, exciting and comprehensive choices available for
TEFL/TESOL certification.
ITTT online courses are accredited by OTTSA (the Online TESOL and TEFL Standards Agency), a professional educational
organization specializing in maintaining standards for online TEFL and TESOL courses.
Our in-class courses are externally validated and moderated by a Board of Academic Advisors. This board includes
several internationally recognized experts in the field of English Language Teaching as well as dozens of regional
language experts in language teaching and teacher training.
We also voluntarily comply with the standards of the British Association of TESOL Qualifying Institutions (BATQI).
The principal aims of the organization are:
n

The TEFL/TESOL Certificate
TEFL is Teaching English as a Foreign Language; TESOL is
Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. The two
terms are generally interchangeable. A TEFL/TESOL
certificate is the major qualification required to teach
English abroad. There is a huge demand for teachers around
the world with opportunities in almost every country.
Taking a TEFL/TESOL certificate course provides the
opportunity to travel and work around the world, to gain
knowledge and experience of foreign cultures and
languages and to embark upon a career in teaching. No
previous teaching experience or specialist qualifications are
required. The only requirement is fluency in English.
TEFL/TESOL employment prospects for graduates of our
courses are excellent. You will find teaching job
opportunities throughout the world, from Spain to South
Korea, Thailand to Turkey, there are literally thousands of
jobs abroad for certified TEFL/TESOL teachers.

Our Course Options
International TEFL and TESOL Training opens the door to a
wide range of options for completing your TEFL certificate –
you can literally adapt your TEFL/TESOL teacher-training to
suit your lifestyle and expectations.
In-class course
ITTT works with TEFL International to provide
comprehensive, intensive four-week in-class training
courses.
n
As the cost of living can be considerably lower abroad than
in many western countries, the centers at many of our
locations are able to offer their training courses at very
competitive prices. Savings made on items such as
accommodation, food, drink and entertainment during
the four weeks are additional benefits of attending the
course overseas.
n
Trainees studying with ITTT have the opportunity to experience the feeling and atmosphere of living and working
abroad. As the centers are housed in the same buildings as language schools, trainees have a good opportunity to
see the way a language school operates and to meet and talk with experienced teachers actually working in the
industry.
n
Trainees are 'on the spot' for any job vacancies (of which there are usually many) at language schools in the
country.
n
The center provides a comprehensive career advice service and help with finding that crucial first teaching
position.
n
The training center provides accommodation at a very low price to trainees who require this service. The
accommodation will usually be in a hotel, an apartment or pension shared with other teacher trainees or teachers
close to the training center.
n
The course has a practical, 'hands-on' format, and provides the trainees with the actual skills that are necessary in
the classroom.
n
International TEFL and TESOL Training has training centers in a number of attractive locations on every continent,
including Thailand, Spain, Italy, China, France, Australia, Egypt, Costa Rica, Vietnam…

Online course
ITTT offers a number of options for TEFL/TESOL courses that can be completed online with no physical attendance at a
training center required. Trainees can choose a course either with a personal tutor to guide them through the learning
process, or they can work their way through the course independently.
The ITTT online courses are open to anyone who has a native-level English ability, and include job guidance on
completion. They allow course participants to study at their own pace, in the comfort of their own home or even while
travelling. TEFL certification can be completed with little disruption to daily life, preparing graduates for their future
teaching career.
Combined course
For those looking for a more functional, hands-on approach to the online certification course, we offer a combined course
option. This is, in essence, the best of both worlds for those who cannot immediately make the jump from their daily life
into a full-time intensive in-class course but who wish to have more practical teaching practice time.
The combined course allows students to study the theoretical aspects of teaching and grammar, etc. followed by in-class
attendance for between seven days and two weeks at one of our training centers.
The online component allows participants time to absorb the information of the course content and gives them time to
prepare for the move abroad. Attendance at our training centers after completion of the online material then gives them
the opportunity to put this knowledge into practice.
Specialized courses
International TEFL and TESOL Training has two specialized courses designed for teachers who are already TEFL/TESOL
certified:
n
n
Certificate in Teaching Business English
Certificate in Teaching English to Young Learners
TESOL Diploma Course
The TITC online TESOL Diploma course is the most advanced online qualification that we offer. The course is for
practicing teachers or those who wish to achieve a higher level qualification having already completed a certificate-level
TEFL/ TESOL course.

Course Guide
In-class Course Content
The course is essentially practical and is assessed
continuously.
This is a typical course schedule (note that this is an example
and timetables will vary from location to location): In the
morning, there are input sessions on the skills and methods
of teaching. The afternoon /evening consists of teaching
practice (in small groups), lesson observation and lesson
preparation. The course is, by nature, very intensive.
The course is divided into six areas:
1. Classroom Management
This topic includes classroom arrangement, resource
materials, maintaining discipline, giving instructions, the
role of the student and teacher etc.
2. Teaching skills
This is a very practical element of the course aimed at
building the candidates skills in areas such as teaching grammar, vocabulary, business English, creating own materials,
correction skills etc.
3. Grammar/Language awareness
This section of the course aims to consolidate the trainees' knowledge of grammar and provide practical ideas as to how
it can be taught.
4. Phonology/Pronunciation
Focuses on areas such as stress, intonation, rhythm and the International Phonetic Alphabet.
5. Unknown Language
Trainees are put in the position of language students and will be taught an unknown foreign language. This gives
candidates a chance to view lessons as a student and note techniques used by the teacher when teaching beginners.
6. Teaching Practice
This is the most practical element of the course. The trainees teach real students of English and put into practice the
skills learnt on the course. Through continuous assessment, thorough feedback and evaluation, trainees are kept up to
date on their progress.

These high quality materials are the basis for the input
sessions and will provide the trainees with valuable

which should be organised as follows:
The course log
n

Teaching Practice – for each lesson, full lesson plan, materials used, self assessment and the tutors assessment
Unknown Language Journal – for each lesson file a report
Lesson Observation Journal – for each lesson file a report
These logs form a record of the course and will be checked during moderation.
Your own notes file
During input sessions you will receive numerous handouts and may want to take your own notes as well. We suggest
dividing the file under the following headings:

of an experienced teacher on video, language awareness
(grammar), and teaching pronunciation and phonology. The

online tests, plus a final lesson plan. The 120-hour course
with tutor support also comes with a series of videos to
complement the course units.
60-hour Online TEFL/TESOL Certification Course with or without Tutor Support
The ITTT 60-hour online TEFL/TESOL course includes units on classroom management, observation of an experienced

Course Features
Once the payment for your ITTT online course has been
received, you will be sent a username and password that will
allow you to log in to your course control panel. Here you will
find all the information you need to start the course,
including full instructions.
Initially, the course introduction and unit 1 will be available
to you, with a worksheet at the end of the unit. You read and
absorb the material in the first unit and then complete the
task sheet independently. Once you’re happy that you’ve
understood the unit contents, you would then complete the
online test.
As soon as you’ve submitted the test, the results for unit 1
will be displayed, and unit 2 will then become available to
you. This is how you proceed through the course, with your
overall score given throughout.
Technical assistance is available to all course participants,
and those that have chosen a course that includes tutor
support are able to contact their tutor at any time regarding
any aspect of the course they would like extra guidance with, or any TEFL/TESOL-related question. Once all course units
have been completed, the final task is a lesson plan, which will be submitted and reviewed by ITTT staff.
After successfully completing all course units and the final lesson plan, you will be asked to confirm your postal address,
where you will receive your TEFL or TESOL certificate and a letter of recommendation.
The course has been designed to allow for maximum flexibility. As long as you complete the course within six months of
starting the course you can work at a pace that suits you. The maximum number of units you can work on per day is three,
so you could theoretically complete the course within a week to ten days. You should probably allow for about five or six
hours per unit (on average) to allow you to read and absorb the material, complete the task sheet and submit the test.
In order to get the maximum benefit from the course we recommend working on just a single unit per day. This will allow
you to complete the course in under four weeks and will give you time to understand the lesson fully and digest the
contents. However, if you wish to work through the course more quickly, or slowly, the choice is of course yours.
The ITTT course is unique for an online TEFL/TESOL course as it enables graduates to receive ongoing career support
and teacher development after completion and provides an opportunity to see 'real' lessons through our video.
This course aims to provide a solid introduction to the world of teaching English as a foreign language. Upon completion
of the course graduates should have a good working knowledge of the English grammatical system (120-hour course
only) and an awareness of the skills and techniques required for successful language teaching.

Course Content
The course is divided into two main areas – teaching skills
and language awareness. The teaching skills component
provides details of the techniques and skills required by
teachers in the classroom while the language awareness
component gives a solid foundation course in English
grammar.
The course consists of either 20 units, covering teaching
skills, language awareness (grammar) and phonology, or 10
units covering teaching skills only. Course components are
carefully chosen and organized to ensure a gradual build up
of knowledge whilst not overloading students with too much
information at any one time. These units allow you to work
through the course at a pace that suits your requirements.
In addition, you will receive several post-course units with
supplementary information including general classroom
tips and TEFL/TESOL employment opportunities.
Post course job guidance:
TITC will provide all possible assistance in finding a teaching position after you have completed the course. This includes
the following support services:

Online Specialized Courses
The practice of Teaching English as a Foreign Language
often branches into specialized areas focusing on teaching
specific groups of learners. Worldwide demand for EFL
teachers qualified in these fields is increasing and ITTT is at

equivalent certified teachers, and prior experience or
training in either field is not required to complete either
course.

qualification.
Benefits of completing our TESOL Diploma course include:
n
n
n
deepening your teacher development and education
more potential income due to a higher level of training
potential for obtaining a more prestigious teaching
position
Online TESOL Diploma Course Content
We organize our course into 12 modules. All modules with
the exception of the last require approximately 16 hours of
study – 175 hours overall. The last module is a research
based thesis, which generally requires 75 hours to finish. At
least 250 hours are therefore required to complete the
course.
Assessment with or without Tutor Support
The 12-unit research-based course is divided into two sections, and participants initially have access to modules 1 to 6. A
task sheet accompanies each module, which is completed after studying the associated material, and is intended to selfmonitor progress. Once the sixth module has been completed, the test for that section can be downloaded. After
successfully completing the test, the process is repeated for modules 7 to 11 and a second test taken. A research thesis
is then required.
The DipTESOL Diploma is issued after successful completion of both tests and the research thesis.
Online TESOL Diploma Course pre-requisites
To take this advanced level course applicants must fulfill the following criteria:
n

Combined Course
Traditionally, TEFL/TESOL certificate courses have been
offered either as four-week, intensive courses in a
classroom setting or as 100% distance learning. ITTT can
see benefits to both forms of study and has combined the
best of both methods into a new and exciting course.
The online element of the course (outlined earlier in this
document) can take between two weeks and six months to
complete (depending how quickly you want/are able to work
through the course) and comes with full online tutor support.
Attendance at the training center is for seven or ten days.
This course is ideal for those students who don't work to their
best potential in intensive learning programs or for students
who don't have four weeks to commit to an intensive course.
Completion of this combined course results in full
certification. Please note that this course is only available at
certain training centers.

during the course.

professionals looking for a career change, working and stay-at-home parents, etc.
Applications are welcomed from all interested parties, regardless of nationality. The only requirements are a proficient
level of English and a willingness to adapt to the intensive nature of the course, should you chose to attend one of our inclass courses. A degree isn't necessary to attend, but some further education experience is an advantage. ITTT has
trained teachers from many backgrounds and ages with great success. We consider it our responsibility to guide trainees
to successful completion of the course.

TEFL International in-class courses are externally validated
and moderated by a Board of Academic Advisors. This board
includes several internationally recognized experts in the
field of English Language Teaching as well as dozens of
regional language experts in language teaching and teacher
training. Both international and regional members advise
TEFL International staff on our teacher training centers
worldwide.
International board members visit our training centers
worldwide. Members also participate as keynote speakers

provide us with advice on the quality of our training programs in the region they visit, and advise us how our programs can
