A global Teacher Training group
The Group
Via Lingua is a global educational organization, with schools and partners in numerous worldwide locations. Our goal is to help students develop their English language teaching (TEFL) skills in a friendly and supportive environment and to provide them with TEFL employment opportunities. We aim to raise the standard of English language teaching around the world.
The TEFL Course
Our TEFL Course is one of the most comprehensive and up-to-date in the world today. Including 130 hours of expert tuition with 10 hours of assessed teaching practice, and covering all areas of Teaching Skills, Classroom Management, English Grammar and Phonology, it exceeds international guidelines for the TEFL profession.
The Job Guidance Program
Through our Job Placement Assistance program, our graduates often find a job by the time they finish the course. Through our contacts around the world, Via Lingua is uniquely placed to give you the best professional help and advice, wherever you wish to start your TEFL career. We extend the same help and advice to all of our graduates, irrespective of where and when you took your original course with us.
The Via Lingua Master Trainers
Via Lingua is committed to employing staff of the highest caliber. All our trainers hold appropriate qualifications and have a wealth of experience as both TEFL teachers and trainers. In addition to professional development , our trainers and mentors are required to maintain a professional portfolio, which guides and charts their achievements and development. As part of our strategy to ensure that Via Lingua trainers and academic staff remain at the forefront of TEFL teaching, we mandate regular seminar and conference attendance for our academic staff members.
Our Code of Ethics
In order to ensure the integrity of the Via Lingua group, a code of ethics has been developed as an essential element of our Quality Assurance process. While positively encouraging diversity, it is essential that all training centers meet basic standards in relation to facilities, advertising, internal competition, the quality of course delivery, accommodation, trainee welfare and job guidance.
The Graduates Network
Once you are a Via Lingua graduate you are always a Via Lingua graduate. We like to keep in contact with our 6500+ graduates all around the world and through them continue to develop our network of contacts, even in areas where we do not yet have our own school or office. Wherever you want to go tomorrow, we believe that we can help to take you there.
“Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.”
