Teach English in Cape Town, South Africa – TEFL Training at Century City
Train in Cape Town. Teach the world. The View TEFL Academy's Cape Town campus is located in Century City — one of South Africa's most accessible and vibrant commercial hubs. Our 120-hour in-person TEFL course runs monthly with small groups, real classroom practice, and direct job placement support.
Why Cape Town is a World-Class Place to Train
Cape Town consistently ranks among the world's most beautiful cities. Framed by Table Mountain and the Atlantic Ocean, it offers a unique blend of natural beauty, international culture, and a growing demand for qualified English teachers. For South African candidates, training in Cape Town means earning an internationally recognised qualification without the cost of relocating abroad.
Our Century City campus is easily accessible by bus and MyCiTi rapid transit, making it one of the most convenient TEFL training locations in Africa. The surrounding area offers a wide range of accommodation, from shared apartments to guest houses, at prices well below those in central Cape Town.
