Recent years have seen a huge rise in online learning across dozens of subjects and disciplines right up to post-graduate degree levels. Online tuition has a proven track record of being an effective path to learning new subjects, so it's no surprise more people than ever are following this convenient route when training for their first TEFL job.

TEFL Scotland offers a series of leading online courses including a 50-hour online TEFL course, which goes into some depth regarding TEFL theory and methodology, a 30-hour grammar module, and 20-hour online video course, where students can watch and learn from seeing real life TEFL lessons in action. This combination of specialist modules, a personal tutor to assist you throughout your studies, and a flexible learning environment makes online tuition a powerful, effective and fast route to qualifying for that dream TEFL job abroad.

Develop your TEFL knowledge online
Many of TEFL Scotland's students combine their online studies with classroom-based courses, although you can study exclusively online taking the accredited 120-hour Premier Online TEFL  course, if you prefer. Online learning allows students to consolidate and develop all they have been taught in their classroom coursework, giving them a more rounded perspective on the issues raised.

Perhaps the most attractive feature of online learning is the convenience it brings. Study at a time and place to suit you: in the evening after the kids have gone to bed, or over the weekend when you have some free time from your current job or college studies, for example. And contrary to what you might think, online learning does not have to be a solitary experience. In addition to regular contact with your own personal tutor, you have the opportunity to meet and chat with fellow TEFL learners on the various course forums.
