TEFL Courses in Melbourne

Get qualified to teach English overseas

We host Classroom TEFL Courses in Melbourne regularly through-out the year. The TEFL Course runs for 20 hours over one weekend and is a fantastic way to gain practical experience teaching English.

Combine the Practical TEFL Course with Online TEFL Training


As with any job, organisations that employ English teachers are looking for applicants with the right qualifications and experience. To ensure you can compete for the top jobs, we recommend that you complete an online theory component to support your practical training.

The 140 hour Combined TEFL Course is our most comprehensive and popular TEFL course. It combines 120 hours of online study with the 20 hours of practical training, ensuring you have the knowledge, skills and resources to confidently teach English to a class of your own. The 120 hours of online training includes the; 60 hour Online TEFL Course, which thoroughly covers everything from classroom management to lesson planning, the 20 hour Grammar Awareness Course, 20 hours of interactive Video Practive and 4 Specialist Modules that focus on key areas in the TEFL industry.

All online training is accessible 24/7 via a fully interactive learning platform (as used by open universities) and is supported with comprehensive feedback from dedicated tutors.

Here's what our recent tutees had to say about the TEFL course...


Michael Xavier - January 2010
"The course was very informative; it provided me with many skills that will be essential when I start working. The teacher was great he showed us many useful tips and tricks to make the lessons fun and engaging for our students."

Andrew Clarke - January 2010
"It really put what I'll be doing (when I travel overseas) into perspective. I liked the relaxed approach about the course. It made me feel comfortable in that learning environment. There was a lot of interaction, which is great because I learn more that way."

Amanda Weisz - January 2010
"Brett was a fantastic tutor - knowledgeable, engaging, experienced and friendly. He kept the course moving at a fast pace and created a fun, enthusiastic classroom vibe. I also really enjoyed his TEFL lesson - it was a great way to demonstrate how easy it can be to teach a new language to someone with absolutely no existing language awareness. The small class size and opportunities to practice what we had learned were also big positives!"
