Your initial application should be completed on the provided application form.

 

As part of our pre-screening process, applicants are requested to submit an account of their personal history and background and their motives for joining the course, as well as their future aspirations.

 

The course fee is based on your satisfactory completion 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 for additional charges to cover additional staff time. These are 35 USD for each Teaching Practice and 20 USD for each piece of written work. 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.

 

Attendance to all Input Sessions is obligatory.

 

If for any reason you wish to subsequently cancel your place on the course after your part or full fees (i.e. deposit plus balance) have been paid, TEFL International Barcelona cannot provide any refund. The reason for this is that the staffing for the course and course material and accommodation have fixed costs which have to be paid for in advance and based on a specific number of course members in the group. The school cannot guarantee to replace course members who subsequently drop out.

 

The deposit can be used as part payment for any course on any date, subject to the availability of places. The deposit is valid for one year. Applications can not be transferred or deferred within one week of the start of a course that the applicant has agreed to attend. At this time, if you are unable to attend the course, your deposit will be forfeited.

 

Although, TEFL International Barcelona has never cancelled a course due to lack of numbers, and we have no plans of ever doing so, if for some reason we do cancel a course, we will allow any members who had signed up for the course and paid their deposit to enrol in a future course.

 

The TEFL International TESOL certificate will be available on the last day of the course.

 

All course members are liable to the disciplinary regulations of the centre. The course director's decision is final. Inappropriate behaviour towards a member of staff or a fellow trainee during the course will be treated very seriously and could result in expulsion from the course.
