Explore the international iTTi training pathways, from core certification to specialist development and teacher training. Our team confirms availability, requirements and fees for your region.

What do TEFL and TESOL mean?

TEFL means Teaching English as a Foreign Language. TESOL means Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. Both terms are used in English teacher education. Check the requirements of your intended employer before choosing a course.

Teaching practice matters.

Formats differ: some include supervised teaching practice, while others use video observation. The guide below makes these distinctions visible. Confirm attendance, assessment and practical requirements before enrolling.
