Our goal is to provide a way for aspiring and passionate English as a foreign langauge teachers to thrive.
Since we opened in Barcelona in 1998, we have been helping teachers gain qualifications which have allowed them to teach English around the world, develop their careers and develop their professional skills. Over 5000 teachers have completed their CELTA course with us and over 800 their Trinity Diploma in TESOL.
The company was founded by Duncan Foord and Nick Rawlinson, with the ambition of creating a place where students, teachers, trainers and marketing and administration staff feel happy working and learning. For us that means helping people to focus on their aims and enjoy the experience of achieving them. Creating an atmosphere of open communication, support and willingness to try out new ideas is important to us.
We think learning to teach is an important and challenging endeavor. We want you to feel as excited about it as we do!

4.9/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
At Oxford TEFL we believe that teaching is essentially a craft, a professional skill acquired mainly with guidance and practice in the classroom. For this reason the qualifications we offer have observed teaching practice as their central focus.
As a business, we are mindful of creating value for money courses which are useful and enjoyable for you. We are a company founded by teachers and driven by them and we are committed to making a contribution to English language teaching and teacher training, not just sustaining ourselves financially.
We are also committed to supporting the education community globally, working together with charities, such as CAMFED, and partner schools to help more resources reach those with fewer opportunities. See what accreditations we have.
Alongside our language school, Oxford House, we have also developed online and face to face Spanish teacher training courses. Our learning never stops and, with the in-depth knowledge we have gathered of teaching and learning languages, we hope to continue reaching new corners of the world to help aspiring teachers realize their dreams.
We are committed to listening to you carefully so that we understand your goals and how we can help you reach them. We take your teaching forward by providing feedback to you based on our expertise and the constructive approach of our tutors in communicating this expertise. We are committed to innovating and improving our courses based on listening to your feedback during and after your course. Find more reasons to study with us!
We value the diversity of our students and our teachers. Our staff includes teachers from all over the world. We select teachers and teacher trainers based on their excellent teaching and training skills and command of English, not in the country they were born in. Our team has grown over the years since we opened and includes leading ELT professionals, trainers and writers, many of whom originally trained with us!

What a journey! 😃
Today we celebrate the last day with our amazing CELTA trainees! 👏
From day one, they’ve shown incredible progress, commitment, and enthusiasm. Through our supportive learning environment, they’ve developed practical teaching skills and grown into more confident, professional English teachers.
Being part of such an international group has also meant we have been able to share ideas, experiences, and unique perspectives from around the world. 🌎
We’re proud of everything they’ve achieved and excited to see how their new skills open doors and boost their employability in the world of English language teaching.
