Gain an internationally recognised TEFL certification in Barcelona in 4 weeks.
Here are the answers to the questions everyone asks us first.
Barcelona’s academies hire all year, most of all in September, October and January. The job-finding workshop runs in week one so you can apply before the course ends, and many schools in Barcelona recruit directly from us, skipping the main job sites.
Full-time: Monday to Friday, 09:30 to 18:30, with lesson planning in the evenings on the days you teach. Treat the four weeks as a job. Weekends are yours.
The Trinity CertTESOL is one of the two certificates (with the CELTA) that language schools, ministries and British Council-accredited centres ask for. It is regulated at level 5 by Ofqual in the UK.
Every day has the same rhythm: two blocks of teaching practice, two input sessions, feedback after every lesson.
Two hours with an elementary or intermediate class, observed by a tutor. When you are not teaching and observing, you will be planning your class in the library.
With your tutor, straight after the lesson: what worked, what to change next time.
Grammar, lexis, pronunciation, lesson planning and classroom management, led by one of the tutors.
Enjoy lunch by the Sagrada Familia, only 5 minutes away.
The second session of the day.
The second class of the day, with feedback after it.
Home by 18:30. Homework in the evenings; the weekends are yours to explore Barcelona.
Week 1 starts gently: a welcome breakfast, a demonstration lesson and 30-minute ice breakers before your first full lesson midweek. Weeks 2 to 4 add reading, listening, writing and speaking skills, error correction, authentic materials, a one-to-one learner of your own and the take-home exam. Download the full syllabus.
Four weeks at the school on Carrer d’Aragó, just 5 minutes from the Sagrada Familia.
Learn from experienced teacher trainers with diploma-level qualifications and over 30 years of combined experience in teaching English and training teachers.

The course is for people who have never taught, or only informally, who want a qualification schools recognise everywhere, and who want help with the move to Barcelona and the first job.

Marcella SimmonsSeptember 2026I absolutely loved my course at TEFL Iberia! The course was extremely thorough. Even though they worked us hard, we had a lot of support and came out of it with amazing skills to teach English. All of the students in my group formed a tight bond and we made friends for life.Posted on Google
Veronica LasutSeptember 2026Got my Trinity CertTESOL through TEFL Iberia and the whole experience has been amazing. It was an intense course, and the workload was another level. But the tutors and the staff were always there to help you out. The school was very comfortable and the classes fully equipped.Posted on Google
Jordan FinchSeptember 2026From day one, it is full speed ahead! But don't let that put you off, because the tutors, staff, and everyone there are ready to support you along the way. They run this course every month, so they know exactly how you feel. The four weeks go by so quickly.Posted on Google
