EFA 120-Hour TEFL Course in Collaboration with Cambridge One

English for Africa is launching a new 120-hour TEFL course based around Cambridge One, Cambridge University’s online teacher development platform, supplemented by trainer.

What makes this course different?

The EFA TEFL course is built on the same principles as the Cambridge CELTA: solid theoretical foundations, self-reflection, and feedback on both micro-teaching and teaching practice with real students. It is a more accessible course, both in terms of financial commitments and in terms of scheduling.

What sets this particular course apart from other TEFL offerings is the integration of Cambridge One, Cambridge University Press's online teacher development platform. Trainees complete eight modules through Cambridge One, and receive a Cambridge University certificate for each module completed. At the end of the course, trainees will receive eight internationally recognized Cambridge certificates, plus the EFA 120-hour TEFL certificate itself summarizing the content of the course.

For teachers building a professional portfolio — whether for local schools, bilingual programmes, or international positions — eight thematic Cambridge certificates documenting specific areas of expertise tell a far richer story to employers than a single qualification alone.

Another distinguishing feature of this course is that it is either run by CELTA trainers or experienced trainers who have shadowed and been trained by CELTA trainers. The feedback, both on forum discussions and on teaching practice and micro-teaching, is therefore informed by the same experience, and reaches the same level of detail and support, as on a CELTA course.

The 120 hours: what they actually consist of

Cambridge One Modules — 40 hours Twenty hours of self-paced study across eight modules — covering areas including classroom management, lesson planning, teaching mixed-ability classes, and communicative language teaching — plus twenty hours of forum tasks and structured self-reflection. Both halves are equally foundational. The reflection component, made up of tasks and forum discussions moderated by the course trainer, is essentially in fostering the awareness and self-reflection that are key to continuing development as an EFL teacher.

Guided Observations — 12 hours Trainees observe experienced teachers at work, with structured tasks guiding what to focus on (6 hours), followed by post-observation reflection

Micro-teaching — 18 hours Each candidate teaches two 15-minute micro-teaching slots to their peers, preceded by assisted lesson planning and followed by both oral and written feedback. Learning takes place both when teaching peers and when being taught, as candidates participate in and benefit from feedback given to their peers as well as their own.

Teaching Practice — 36 hours Each candidate teaches two 30-minute lessons to real learners at different levels — one hour of actual classroom teaching per candidate in total — with lesson planning support and full oral and written feedback on each lesson. Here too, the benefit is cumulative, as both lesson planning and feedback are collaborative, collegial processes that lead to development of awareness and critical thinking in all the trainees.

Assignments — 14 hours Four written assignments: a learner analysis, a language systems awareness task, a language skills lesson design task, and a reflective training journal maintained throughout the course.

Two formats, one qualification

Fully Online — Opens 18 May 2026 (7 weeks) Teaching practice and micro-teaching are conducted online. All other components — Cambridge One modules, observations, assignments — are also online. Designed for maximum flexibility: if you're based anywhere in Morocco or beyond and need to fit training around work or family commitments, this is your route in.

Hybrid (Face-to-Face TP) — Opens 13 July 2026, Casablanca and Rabat (3 weeks) An intensive three-week format. Cambridge One modules are completed online, but micro-teaching and teaching practice take place face-to-face — live classroom experience with real learners, and in-person feedback from your trainer. For teachers who want an intensive experience, and can take three weeks out of their summer schedule, this is a serious option.

Both formats lead to exactly the same qualification: eight Cambridge One certificates and the EFA 120-hour TEFL certificate.

Who is this course for?

The EFA TEFL is designed for two kinds of people.

If you're new to teaching, the course gives you a structured, internationally accredited entry into the profession. It's practical enough to make you classroom-ready from the first day you stand in front of learners, and rigorous enough to carry real weight as a credential.

If you're already teaching but haven't formalised your training, the course provides something arguably more valuable: a framework for the experience you already have. The teaching practice and micro-teaching components, and in particular the rigorous criteria-based feedback, are designed to surface and help remediate gaps in your teaching you may not yet be aware of.

In either case, the Cambridge One component ensures you leave with documented, specific professional development that is immediately recognisable to any employer familiar with Cambridge's ecosystem.
