The 120-Hour Master Certificate is our most popular TEFL course. It is designed for both novice and experienced teachers who desire to be up to date on best practice in English language teaching. In addition to theory, practical EFL techniques and methodology are covered to give teachers hands-on tools they can implement immediately in to the classroom. This program also includes special modules on teaching English grammar, teaching English to young learners, and teaching business English. Trainees receive a subscription to a database of over 2,000 pre-made lesson plans, flashcards, and teaching videos.
The Bridge 120-hour Master Certificate in TEFL has also been evaluated by the prestigious American Council on Education (ACE) and has been recommended for 6 under graduate-level university credits.
Bridge is dedicated to training teachers of English as a foreign language. We have designed professional development courses and certification programs for the global English teacher. The courses can be delivered in several modalities (in person, online or blended) according to the needs and preferences of our students. Our trainees consist of native and non-native English speakers, and include PK-12 teachers, university professors, instructors in language schools, private tutors, and online teachers of English.
We accredited by ACCET (the Accrediting Council for Continuing Education and Training, an entity officially recognized by the United States Department of Education) and Aqueduto (the Association for Quality Education and Training Online). All BridgeTEFL programs and courses are approved by these accrediting bodies. Many of our courses also have university backing through ACE Credit, which recommends our courses for graduate and undergraduate credit at 1,200 universities in the U.S. and Canada.
