Welcome to the World of CGE Certificate Courses!!


After twenty years of experience in international education, the Consortium for Global Education (CGE) has merged expertise in overseas experience, educational methodology, content theory, cultural awareness, and English teaching practices into TWO introductory courses for Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL).

As competition continues to grow in every sector for English speaking expertise, CGE commits to being at the forefront of establishing standards for establishing and maintaining skills in teaching English. CGE member universities and colleges provide degree programs and well designed courses for gaining excellence in ESL, TEFL, and TESOL.

These TWO introductory courses are provided for learners who are teaching or want to teach English in some format in the USA and overseas. TEFL USA 1 addresses the TEFL needs for those who will be teaching on short term projects or in non-contractual settings and want to gain English teaching expertise. TEFL Global 1 addresses the TEFL needs for contracted English teachers, primarily in non-native English speaking nations, who want to increase their English teaching competency.
