Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL)
Teaching English as a Foreign Language is a fantastic way to make the most out of your gap year. Gain valuable skills and experience while you immerse yourself and contribute to the life and work of a local community. There are a number of TEFL certificates, courses and qualifications available to new teachers through Frontier and we have developed these to be able to offer three levels of TEFL experience for you to choose between:
TEFL Certificate (FREE)
This is available on all Frontier teaching projects of 4 weeks and more. All you have to do is carefully prepare with the aid of our extensive TEFL Handbook, then complete a logbook during your project to show 20 hours of teaching experience. Send these back to us at the end of your trip and you will receive a Frontier TEFL Certificate.
TEFL Certificate + two day residential training course (£100)
This is available to all teaching project volunteers. Spend two days learning the basics of English language teaching and sharing ideas with other teaching volunteers. You will gain experience, get some practice and start your project ready to jump straight into the classroom! The training weekend is compulsory for all TEFL BTEC candidates but anyone who will be teaching is welcome! See Frontier TEFL Training Weekend. for more information.
BTEC Advanced Certificate in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (£300)
For an extra £300 volunteers taking part on teaching projects for 4 weeks or more also now have the unique opportunity to take part in this new and exclusive BTEC qualification. Accredited by Edexcel as a level 3 course this enables you to take part in an intensive and informative training weekend and finish your project with a formal and internationally recognised qualification.
