EPIK has recently updated their TEFL requirements by requesting that teachers get a 20-hour classroom component in addition to a 100-hour or 120-hour course. Reach To Teach has partnered with I to I TEFL in order to provide you with the best possible price and course options for your needs.
In order to meet the Level 2 status for EPIK, you need to take a TEFL class if you don’t meet one of the following criteria:
BA in Education/English/English Education/English Literature or Linguistics (Majors in Writing will be considered as an English Major)
MA in any Major
TEFL/TESOL/CELTA certificate of 120-hours or more with a 20-hour classroom based component
Teaching license in your home country
1 year of full time teaching experience
The two courses that you should be looking at on our TEFL page are:
1. The 120-hour combined class if you don’t have a TEFL
2. The 20-hour classroom course for those of you who already have a 100+ hour course online.
