Online TEFL Course Practicum

To complete an online TEFL / TESOL certification course, International TEFL Academy requires that each student complete 20 hours of practicum. The practicum incorporates live practice teaching and observation. Of those 20 hours, students must spend at least 6 hours teaching or tutoring actual ESL students.  These practicum hours allow each student to gain first-hand experience working with real ESL students, whether it is in a live classroom setting, or by tutoring a non-native speaker privately. 


International TEFL Academy encourages students to complete these hours while enrolled in the course.   For these reasons, completing the practicum hours during the course enables students to practice what they are learning in the online class immediately.  We do, however, automatically allow students an additional 60 days after finishing the academic part of the course to complete their practicum hours.
