Live 1-to-1 · real class observation in Madrid
Issued by TEFL Madrid — we certify teachers & accredit academies
Built for certified teachers ready to go advanced
A Level 5 TEFL course is the natural step up after your 120-hour certificate: it's where you turn classroom experience into advanced, recognised pedagogy. This 1-to-1 program is made for teachers who want more — not for absolute beginners.
-
Already certified, ready to go advanced
You've earned your 120-hour TEFL and want to go deeper — advanced methodology, lesson design and assessment, not another beginner course.
-
No formal teaching degree?
An advanced Level 5 certification gives you the pedagogical credibility schools look for, even without a university degree in education.
-
Aiming for senior roles
You want to move toward academic coordination, senior teaching or leadership positions — and the higher pay that comes with them.
-
You teach a specific audience
Adults, teenagers, young learners, Business or Academic English — your syllabus is built around exactly who you teach.
Want to specialise in exam prep (TOEFL®, IELTS®, Cambridge, Duolingo™) rather than an advanced credential? See our TEFL Specialization Course instead — the two are complementary.
Why a Level 5 TEFL course is the right next step — and why ours is different
- Live 1-to-1, not a PDF. 10 hours of real-time mentoring with an expert trainer — where most online "Level 5" courses are self-paced modules you work through alone.
- Real class observation in Madrid. 10 hours watching real lessons and analysing advanced methods — something a fully self-paced course simply can't give you.
- We're the awarding body. Your certificate is issued by TEFL Madrid itself — an independent body that certifies teachers and accredits academies — not resold from a third party.
A syllabus built around exactly who you teach
Unlike a fixed online course, your Level 5 TEFL course is personalised: you and your trainer shape the focus, the lesson frameworks and the feedback around your real teaching context.
Choose your focus
- Adults vs. young learners — methodology tailored to your students' age and level.
- Academic or Business English — go deep in the niche you actually teach.
- Assessment literacy & feedback — mark, measure and improve learning with confidence.
- Advanced frameworks & classroom management — plan and run lessons that hold up in any room.

Level 5 TEFL course — questions, answered
What is a Level 5 TEFL course?
It's an advanced, internationally recognised certification that builds on your 120-hour TEFL. It focuses on advanced methodology, lesson design, assessment and pedagogy — ideal for teachers who want to elevate their skills or who don't hold a formal education degree. Ours is delivered with live 1-to-1 training and real class observation.
Who awards the certificate, and is it accredited?
Your certificate is issued by TEFL Madrid Academy itself. We're an independent awarding body: we issue our own internationally recognised certifications and we accredit other academies and teachers. It's recognised by schools and employers worldwide.
Can I enrol if my 120-hour TEFL is from another school?
Yes — as long as it's a full 120-hour TEFL and verifiable. The Level 5 Advanced is designed to build on any accredited 120-hour certificate.
How long does it take, and is it fully online?
It's 100% online on a flexible schedule (CET), with observation of real classes at our Madrid academy. Most teachers complete it within 2 months, or faster if your schedule and your trainer's availability allow.
How much does the course cost?
The promotional price is €450 (standard €510), as a single payment, VAT not included. It covers your 10h of 1-to-1 training, 10h of class observation, personalised syllabus, feedback, Job Support and certificate.
How many extra study hours will I need?
Beyond the 10 hours of live sessions, expect several hours of independent work for your lesson plans, mock class and final project. The exact amount depends on your pace and goals.
Can I focus only on adults, or only on young learners?
Yes. The course is personalised to your target audience — adults, teenagers, young learners, Business or Academic English — so the syllabus matches exactly who you teach.
Do you help me find a job — is it guaranteed?
We provide real Job Support: recommendations to our trusted partner-academy network in Spain, international reference letters on request, and help with your CV, portfolio and applications. We don't guarantee employment.
