Prepare to Teach English with APU’s TEFL Certification

  Available Online

APU’s Certificate in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) equips students who desire advanced training to start their career in teaching English, without pursuing the full Master of Arts in TESOL degree. This graduate-level TEFL certification provides students with the basic qualifications needed to teach in a multicultural setting. The certificate is earned by completing the first two courses in the MA in TESOL program, which can be applied toward the master's degree if further graduate work is desired.
