EBC Online Training

by Jim Ashton -

A brief history of EBC TEFL training courses

EBC was established in 1998. We have years of teaching and training experience.

Therefore, EBC knows exactly what language schools look for when hiring new teachers.

Due to a shortage of highly-qualified TEFL teachers, EBC started the affordable, quality EBC International TEFL Certificate course in 2002. The course was designed to answer both academic and real world demands.

As time has moved on, the EBC International TEFL certificate has become the Trinity CertTESOL course , a gold-standard, accredited, dual award TESOL and TEFL course that is automatically accepted by prestige global organisations like the British Council.

As an experienced and battle-hardened training organisation, EBC offers you the opportunity to share our wealth of knowledge and practical experience so that you are fully prepared for entry into the English teaching profession as an accredited teacher.
