For those who do not have the time or resources to commit to a full-time, 4-week intensive onsite TESOL course, our hybrid Virtual + Onsite TESOL course may be for you. The hybrid course combines live training sessions in a virtual classroom, video demonstrations, interactive simulations, hands-on exercises, and written assignments with onsite teaching practice at our training centre in Buenos Aires. The hybrid course is more affordable and flexible than the full onsite course, but course content, evaluation and certification remain the same.
COURSE FEATURES
• Affordable: $1,250 for a full TESOL Certificate.
• Flexible: Attend our virtual classroom from anywhere in the world.
• Interactive: Attend live sessions with one of our trainers via webcam and interact with other virtual classmates. We offer live
input sessions led by experienced trainers in a virtual classroom where you will be able to interact with both your trainer and
other trainees, as well as participate in group activities and discussions.
• Meets or exceeds International standards.
• Externally moderated.
• Internationally recognized.
• Full 120+ hour TEFL/ TESOL certification.
Below you will find a schedule of class times and a monthly content schedule. You have to attend all of the 16 sessions over the course of two months. If you miss one session, you can join the session the next month. We encourage trainees to attend the meetings in a sequential fashion. There are 16 live sessions and a series of self-access assignments. There will be a monthly introductory session in which all the self-access assignments will be explained.
The schedule will be repeated on a monthly basis.
WEEKLY SCHEDULE OF SESSIONS The weekly schedules are planned according to their relevance to the assignments, lesson model demonstrations and interrelated topics.
