TEFL Scotland
TEFL Scotland is the nation’s leading provider of accredited TEFL courses.
Thousands of students successfully complete our courses every year and we have former students teaching English around the world – meet some of them.
What sets us apart from other TEFL providers is our experience. Between the TEFL Scotland team, there is over 30 years of experience in teaching English abroad, in the UK and in teacher training. We want others to share the fantastic experiences we have had by providing quality TEFL courses that are accessible and affordable.
TEFL Scotland is proud to say that we have more accreditation from national education bodies than any other equivalent TEFL provider in the UK.

Real TEFL Experts
Unlike other TEFL providers, the TEFL Scotland team is managed and staffed by experienced TEFL professionals with years of experience in teaching abroad and teacher training.
When you email or call us, it will be a TEFL expert giving you the advice that you need, not a salesperson.

We are an Approved Centre of the SQA (Scottish Qualifications Authority) and we also have accreditation from the ODLQC (Open and Distance Learning Quality Council).

Skilled and dedicated tutors
Our TEFL courses are run by qualified and experienced TEFL tutors, all of whom have extensive experience of teaching English abroad. Our tutors are all enthusiastic and supportive - they care about your training and the experience you have with us.
You get six months to complete an online TEFL course with us, where most TEFL providers only give you three months. Students on our online TEFL courses have one personal tutor for the length of their course, meaning your tutor gets to know you and how you work.
Free Job Placement Service
When you take a course with us, you get access to our free TEFL Job Placement Service, designed to get you teaching in your dream job.
What you get with your course:
• TEFL job vacancies (apply for any of the TEFL jobs on this site)
