This initial application form is not binding in any way. We will simply assess your request and write back to you. If your application has been successful, you can then decide weather you would like to join the course or not by simply sending us an email back. We will also answer any other questions you may have.

If you not sure, and would rather not send us an application form, simply send an email with all your questions. Naturally, we can only assess weather you are eligible for the course if we receive your full details.

If you have decided you wish to book, the following conditions will apply:

After successful application, and your decision to take part in the course, you will be asked to pay a deposit of € 500 which is non refundable and submit to us your full personal details, Qualification and Experience and a statement from you stating your reasons for teaching.

The balance of payments are due when you arrive at your course locations, usually in the currency of that country.

If for any reason you wish to cancel your place after arriving at the school, after your part or full fees (i.e. deposit plus balance) have been paid, TEFL International cannot provide any refund except for exceptional circumstances. The course organizer’s decision is final. In any case, the deposit is non-refundable. The reason for this is that the accommodation and staffing for the course have fixed costs which have to be paid for in advance and based on a specific number of course members in the group. The college cannot replace a course member who subsequently drops out.

The course fee is based on your satisfactory completing all the course assessments, including Teaching Practices, within the four weeks. If for any reason you do not complete these satisfactorily within the period and it is agreed that an extension of time or further Teaching Practices are possible later, you will be liable to additional charges to cover additional staff time. These are USD$20 for each piece of written work and USD$35 for each Teaching Practice. If you withdraw from the moderation of your current course and wish to enter moderation on a later course, an additional moderation fee must be paid.

As part of our pre-screening process, applicants are requested to submit an account of background and of their motives for joining the course as well as their personal history and their future aspirations. Inaccuracies or fraudulent claims in the application are grounds for dismissal from the course.

Of the hundreds of courses we have offered, we have cancelled only three courses. Cancellations are extremely rare. Yet, if for some reason we cancel a course, we will offer trainees the following choices:
· A full refund
· Priority enrol in a future course.
· Transfer to another course

All course members are liable to the disciplinary regulations and rules of the center. The course director's decision is final and dismissal from the course is not grounds for a refund

The TEFL International TESOL certificate is not graded. The final certificate will usually be available on the last day of the course.
