South Korea is a small but incredibly beautiful country, and during the 4 week TEFL you will have fantastic opportunities to experience the rich culture and history. Not only will you have the chance for local excursions, but based in Incheon, you will be less than an hour away from the lively city of Seoul on the express train.
The first week of your program includes in-depth cultural orientations, ensuring you deeply understand the Korean way of life and culture. This includes a welcome dinner, tour of the local neighbourhood and the “Grand” Palace (Gyeongbok Palace), taekwondo class and learning South Korean cookery and language. Incheon is home to Korea’s only official Chinatown, where you can try jajangmyun (noodles with black bean sauce) at the Gongwachun restaurant and for seafood you can visit the popular Sorae Pogu fish market.
Situated on the west coast, Incheon is also well known for its beaches such as Eurwangni and the local islands. Inland you will find the Grand Park, bordered by the mountains of Sangassan and Gwanmosan offering excellent hiking, biking and sledding.

Your TEFL course takes place at a school on Yeongjong Island just 40 minutes from downtown Seoul and while the course prepares you to teach English anywhere in the world, the cultural orientations leave you uniquely positioned to understand the role of a teacher in South Korea.
This 120hr TEFL is audited quarterly by OTTSA and accredited by institutes such as the Srinakharinwirot University (SWU) in Thailand, one of the most prestigious in the country and recognised around the region.
Our holistic approach involves a 1 week in-depth cultural learning experience followed by three weeks working with experienced instructors to ensure you are able to effectively manage a classroom for learners of any age and plan, develop and deliver lessons effectively and with confidence.
You will complete two full days of practical teaching at a local Korean school with your fellow course participants to ensure you’re fully prepared and confident for the real thing once you’ve graduated from the course.
