This fun, intensive, full-preparation course is Maximum Level's flagship TEFL/TESOL program.  The certification course is 4 weeks long, covering 150 hours of in-class lecture and group work, independent study, and practical teaching.  This is the best program for inexperienced and experienced ESL teachers alike, and ensures participants the maximum amount time for study and practical teaching.

Accelerated-Hybrid TEFL/TESOL Certification Program
