TEFL Certificate Courses in Crete

Via Lingua Crete is located on the beautiful Mediterranean island of Crete, Greece's largest island. We offer a TEFL certificate course which is practical in nature, assessed regularly, and fully complies with all international standards for the regulation of the global TEFL industry.

Our TEFL course involves 120 hours of tuition and includes 10 hours of "classroom" teaching. Trainees teach English to local adult residents (mostly Greek origin) using the skills learnt on the course as early as Day 3.
All Via Lingua courses are moderated by the prestigious ELT Institute, Hunter College, City University of New York. Hunter College, located in the heart of Manhattan, is the largest college in the City University of New York (CUNY) system. Founded in 1870, Hunter is also one of the oldest public colleges in the country.
Crete is the most southern of the Greek islands. Because of its size, Crete is easily reachable by flight or ferry from Athens. Flights from Athens to Chania are reasonably priced, leave several times a day, and take just 40 minutes. Fast and slow ferries are also available, if you prefer to take your time and cruise across the Aegean Sea to Chania's local port. Upon arriving in Chania, you will be met by a member of our staff at the airport or ferry port and transferred to your hotel accommodation. We will have everything arranged to welcome you to Crete with warm, Cretan-style hospitality! The Sunday evening before the course starts, we have an orientation tour of the town of Chania, location of the school, and a bite to eat in the Old Town. As Sunday is a very popular night to go out in Greece, most groups continue "breaking the ice" at a nearby seaside club or taverna while getting introduced to a local favorite, tsikoudia (raki).
The course's length is 4 weeks and we run about 10 courses each year.

In the morning, we start at 10:00am or thereabouts (Greek time). The morning's input sessions on skills and methods of teaching are taught by the school's director, Maria Andreadaki. The afternoon consists of teaching practice (in small groups), lesson observation and lesson preparation. The day ends with "classroom" teaching to one of the 4 different levels (Beginner, Elementary, Intermediate, Advanced) of English to local adult residents. This teaching practice is observed by our qualified trainers and feedback is done immediately upon completion of the lesson.

The course's length is 4 weeks and we run about 10 courses each year.
