The TEFL Specialization Course is built for teachers who already hold a 120-hour TEFL
This is not a beginner certificate. It's the next step for already-certified teachers who want to prove their teaching quality, pick a real exam-prep specialism, and unlock Job Support from TEFL Madrid. If your first TEFL got you started but left gaps, this is where you close them.
-
Certified, but never truly assessed
You earned a 120-hour TEFL online — but never taught real students or had a tutor critique your lessons. Here you get observed practice and direct, expert feedback.
-
Ready to teach exam prep
You want to move beyond casual conversation classes into structured TOEFL®, IELTS®, Cambridge (B2/C1/C2) or Duolingo™ preparation — and build one assessed exam-track lesson to prove it.
-
Job-hunting in Spain or online
You need schools to take you seriously. Once we've seen your work first-hand, we recommend you to trusted partner-academies and issue international reference letters on request.
-
Online tutors leveling up
Already teaching online and want a sharper methodology plus a credential that stands out? Refine how you plan and deliver lessons with one-to-one coaching from seasoned tutors.
Brand new to teaching with no certificate yet? Start with our 120-hour TEFL course online first — then come back to specialise.
Why this specialization matters
An exam-prep specialism tells schools you can deliver real outcomes
Exam preparation forces you to follow specific frameworks, rubrics and grading systems. That's exactly what employers look for — and it's the logical next step after a generic 120-hour TEFL.
- Reliability. You teach to a syllabus and a deadline, not improvisation.
- Structure. Frameworks and rubrics show you can run a real course.
- Measurable results. Schools can see — and trust — the outcomes you produce.
What you'll master — and exactly what's included
The TEFL Specialization Course is short and intensive on purpose. Every hour is spent turning your existing 120-hour TEFL into job-ready, exam-prep teaching skill — observed, coached and assessed.
By the end, you'll be able to:
- Plan and deliver a structured exam-prep lesson to a real framework and rubric — not improvised conversation.
- Map your teaching to CEFR levels (B2/C1/C2) and the formats of TOEFL®, IELTS®, Cambridge or Duolingo™.
- Run effective online classes: pacing, error correction, engagement and feedback that hold up on camera.
- Self-assess and refine your method using your tutor's structured critique of your recorded mock class.
- Present yourself professionally — a certificate and reference letters schools actually trust.

-
"The exam-prep track gave me real structure for IELTS® lessons. I went from improvising to following a proper rubric — exactly what the academy that hired me was looking for."
-
"Fully online and intensive — I finished in under a month around my job. The recommendation to a partner academy was the part I didn't expect and valued most."
