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!
Our English teacher training courses are highly rated by our graduates. This is why we have grown to become the go-to course provider for those looking for high-quality training which will help them stand out in the TEFL industry.

4.9/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
At Oxford TEFL, we believe that teaching is a craft — a professional skill developed through expert guidance, meaningful practice and reflection. That belief is at the heart of everything we do, from our internationally recognised teacher training courses to the support we provide to teachers throughout their careers.
Our work is guided by five core values:
Supportive
We believe people learn best when they feel supported. Our courses combine expert guidance, practical teaching experience and a welcoming community, giving aspiring and experienced teachers the confidence to develop their skills and achieve their goals.
International
Language connects people across cultures and borders. With a truly international community of students, teachers and partners, we embrace different perspectives and prepare teachers to work successfully in classrooms around the world.
Practical
We believe teacher training should prepare you for the realities of the classroom. Our courses put teaching practice at their centre, combining theory with hands-on experience, practical techniques and feedback that you can apply immediately.
Employability
Our goal is not simply to provide a qualification, but to help you build a career. We design our courses to develop the knowledge, skills and confidence that employers value, opening doors to teaching opportunities in different countries and educational settings.
Progress
Learning never stops. We are committed to continuous development — for our students, our teachers and ourselves. As a company founded and driven by teachers, we continually learn from our experience and the wider teaching community to improve what we offer.
We are 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!
