Bridge Linguatec Inc.

The Bridge-Linguatec TEFL Online course is a 60-hour, 12 module interactive online certificate program. The course covers the fundamentals of teaching English as a Foreign Language. Throughout the course, each trainee is guided by a personal, professional tutor who grades assignments, provides personalized feedback, and answers any questions the trainee may have.

The Business English Endorsement is a ten-part module consisting of self-study educational material, professionally-written sample essay answers, and lesson plans that trainees can compare against their own, and a multiple-choice quiz which determines the final certificate grade. The endorsement requires between five and ten hours of student involvement.

Bridge-Linguatec is accredited by ACCET (Accrediting Council for Continuing Education and Training).
