How Vantage's Combined Course Works
The Best of Both Worlds: Hybrid TEFL Certification
Vantage TEFL Certification has partnered with iTTT (International TEFL and TESOL Training)—a global leader in online TEFL education—to offer a unique Hybrid Combined Course.
This course blends the flexibility of online study with the practical experience of live classroom teaching. It’s an ideal solution for those currently working or who can’t commit to a full-time, four-week course.
Study Online. Teach Live.
You’ll first complete the coursebook and core theory through iTTT’s online platform.
Then, at Vantage’s Bangkok training center, you’ll deliver six Observed Teaching Practices (OTPs) to real Thai students, gaining hands-on classroom experience and building confidence in your teaching skill set.
Vantage TEFL Certification is proud to be ranked #1 in Gooverseas.com’s The 9 Best Online TEFL Courses.
Course Tuition: US$1,095.
What’s Included in the Online Course?
The online portion of the Hybrid Combined Course is divided into two key areas:
-
Teaching Techniques: Covers classroom methodologies, lesson planning, and practical teaching strategies.
-
Language Awareness: Builds a solid foundation in English grammar—essential for any effective teacher.
The course is structured into 20 interactive units, each followed by a short quiz to check your understanding. At the end, you’ll complete a summative task to consolidate your learning. The course comes with complete tutor support.
You’ll have six months to complete the course, allowing you to study at a pace that fits your schedule.
Most trainees complete the program in 2 to 3 months, but if you study full-time, it’s possible to finish in 2 to 4 weeks.
Once you’ve completed the online course, you’ll be ready to begin your Observed Teaching Practices (OTPs)—where theory meets real-world classroom experience.
What's Offline?
New teachers are made in the classroom—and that’s exactly where this part of the course takes place.
In the offline portion of the Hybrid Combined Course, you’ll put the theory you’ve learned online into practice by teaching real Thai students in a live classroom setting.
This is the practicum, or Observed Teaching Practice (OTP) phase, where:
-
You’ll deliver lessons to non-English speaking learners.
-
After each class, our experienced trainers will provide personalized feedback to help you grow and refine your teaching techniques.
This is where knowledge turns into skill—and where confidence begins to build.

Knowing Does Not Make You Skilled
Knowledge is theoretical. It’s what you gain by reading, watching, and listening—facts, concepts, and procedures.
Skills, on the other hand, are practical. They represent your ability to apply knowledge effectively in real situations. Skills are only developed through action and practice.
Think of it this way:
You could know all the rules, stats, and strategies of a sport, but that doesn’t mean you can play it well. To become skilled, you have to get on the field, make mistakes, get feedback, and improve through repetition.
The same is true for teaching.
To become a successful English teacher, you must step into a real classroom with non-English speaking students and see firsthand how your lessons land.
You also need constructive feedback from experienced trainers, because self-reflection alone has limits. Professional coaching is what helps refine your technique and build confidence.
That’s what Vantage TEFL’s practicum is all about:
Turning the knowledge from your coursework into the practical teaching skills you’ll need to succeed. We don’t just teach teachers—we help shape professionals who are ready to lead a classroom from day one.
