Start and End Dates

April 7th, 2025 through May 16th approximately

June 9th, 2025 through July 7th approximately

September 1st, 2025 through October 3rd approximately

October 14th, 2025 through November 24th approximately

Why are our end dates approximate? While we strive to maintain consistent course schedules, our end dates are approximate. Argentina observes several national holidays, which we respect, and unforeseen events such as strikes or other incidents can occasionally impact our programming. These factors can make it difficult to guarantee precise end dates. We understand that some students may wish to book flights in advance, and to avoid any potential disruption to their travel plans or loss of program benefits, we prefer to provide an estimated timeframe rather than a fixed date. This approach allows for flexibility and ensures that students have the opportunity to fully benefit from the program, even in the event of unexpected circumstances.

TEFL Course Deferral and Re-enrollment Policy

Deferral due to Personal Circumstances

Participants who have committed to a TEFL course but encounter unforeseen personal circumstances that prevent them from attending as originally scheduled may request a deferral. A deferral allows the participant to postpone their course enrollment for up to one year from the original start date.

Conditions for Deferral

  • Valid Reason: Deferrals will be considered only for documented personal circumstances such as serious illness,injury, family emergency, or other significant events beyond the participant’s control.
  • Timely Notification: Participants must notify the TEFL course provider in writing as soon as possible, but no later than two weeks before the original course start date, of their intention to defer.
  • Documentation: Participants may be required to provide supporting documentation to substantiate their request for deferral.

Re-enrollment after Deferral

  • Within One Year: Participants who have been granted a deferral must re-enroll in a TEFL course within one year of the original start date.
  • No Additional Fee: There is no additional fee for re-enrollment within the one-year deferral period, provided the participant meets all other course requirements.

Re-enrollment after One Year or Without Deferral

  • Re-enrollment Fee: Participants who wish to re-enroll in a TEFL course after the one-year deferral period has expired, or who did not request a deferral and failed to attend the original course, will be required to pay a re-enrollment fee of 895 USD.
  • Justification: This fee reflects the administrative costs associated with re-enrollment and the disruption caused to course planning and practicum arrangements.
