    APPROACHES TO LEARNING

    All classes are taught online, consecutively, for a total of 18 weeks. The certificate involves 100 hours of online coursework.

    The curriculum is organized to provide both theory and practical knowledge. As you look over the course titles, you'll note the focus on theory in the Foundations and Approaches to Learning courses that sandwich the curriculum, but also the intense focus on teaching. This attention to the practical side of the career is what makes the University of Miami TEFL Certificate unique.
