Home > TESOL residential courses > Spain > Seville

Home of the Flamenco, tapas, and the bull fight, Seville is known for its vivacious zeal for all things pleasurable. Taking your TESOL course in Seville exposes the trainee English language teacher to the lifestyle of one of the most charming cities in Europe.

Settled by the Romans 2000 years ago, Seville is an ancient city with a broad range of impressive architecture reflecting its colorful past.

Situated on the banks of the Guadalquivir River, Seville's location has influenced the importance of the city as the last navigable port in Spain with access to the Atlantic Ocean. Seville was an important post in the trans-Atlantic voyages to the new world in latin america, and to trading routes with North Africa.

Seville is the principal city in the region of Andalucía, and for many is the jewel in the crown reflecting the diversity of the region’s Roman, Moorish and Christian past. Within easy reach of Seville are the glorious cities of Granada and Cordoba each with their own monumental landmarks contributing to the fascinating make up of Andalucía, one of the most striking regions in the whole of Europe.

The School

Located in the heart of the city, our TESOL school in Seville is ideally placed for trainees looking to study among the rich history and culture of Spain’s fourth largest city and capital of the southern province of Andalucía. When you are not in the classroom, you can spend your free time wandering the cobbled streets, window shopping and refreshing yourself at any of the interesting restaurants, cafes, bars and shops in the area that surrounds the school.

As a trainee English language teacher, you will benefit from teaching practice with students from the local area who are both friendly and keen to learn, making your journey to becoming a fully qualified TESOL teacher an enjoyable and unforgettable one.

Seville part-time program

We offer this option to those who are unable to take the full-time four-week program due to work, family situations or other commitments. If an applicant decides that they need to take the part-time program they must commit to and attend week 1 of the four-week program as this is when the entire course introduction is given. Once week 1 is completed the trainee sits down with the director and goes over his or her availability and a tailor-made schedule is created that fits in with the trainee’s availability in conjunction with the ongoing schedule of the full-time courses. The part-time course usually takes around two months to complete depending on what the trainee can commit to.

A common part-time schedule cannot be set as it will depend on the trainee’s availability. They will need to do some mornings and evenings and each individual case will look different.

An example of this could be as follows:

A student is unavailable Monday and Tuesday evenings as well as Wednesday and Thursday mornings.

They would need to make the necessary arrangements to attend the first full week of the full-time program. The director would then draft up a schedule for the following two months where the trainee would attend all of the pre-requisite classes either in the morning or afternoons. They would also do all of their afternoon teaching practices on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Once all the requirements of a regular full-time course are successfully fulfilled, they would attend the graduation ceremony of the second full-time course and receive their certificate.

Regarding accommodation, trainees can stay in the lodgings provided during the part-time program, but the minimum stay is four weeks. The price is 16€/night in an individual room. The course balance is the same for full- and part-time students and both amounts are due no later than the first day of the program.

Frequently Asked Questions

While there are no deadlines for a deposit, courses can fill up quickly and your seat will only be reserved after the deposit has been paid.

  Once you make your deposit, you will receive an email with an informational packet that provides detailed information about the course and Seville itself.

  The balance of course fees are payable on the first day of class and can be made with a credit/debit card, cash, Pay Pal or bank transfer.

  Late fees of 25€ per day may be applied if payment is not made. Please note that if you choose to pay by bank transfer you must add the transfer fees to the tuition balance. If payments have not been received by the end of class on Wednesday afternoon of the first week, you must receive permission from TEFL International Seville to remain on the course.

  Course fees are all-inclusive so you won’t be asked to pay additional costs for course related materials or services. This also includes course moderation, accreditation fees and lifetime job assistance.

• What are my accommodation options?

  Expand

  Our accommodation for Seville is in three or four bedroom apartments. You will be allocated your own room (unless you want to share) with up to three other trainees as roommates. Prices start at 16 € per night for single rooms and 11 € per night for shared accommodation (per person). You can pay for your accommodation before the course starts or upon arrival.

  The apartments are comfortable and simply furnished, with kitchens equipped with basic cooking utensils, stoves, refrigerators and washing machines. Blankets and sheets are provided, but bath towels are not. The apartments are also equipped with fans and electric heaters. Like most homes in southern Spain, during the winter it is often much colder inside the houses than outside.

  Each location is well equipped with grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants, bars and shops. They are also well connected with the city centre, with bike routes and several direct bus lines to the main city square. City buses are used by everyone in Seville as they are safe, affordable and easy to use.

  Because these apartments are shared among other trainees, we cannot allow you to invite friends or family to stay in your room.
