Make your time in Barcelona count twice. Alongside your TEFL training and Barcelona life, you can earn up to 9 transferable US college credits through a fully online, self-paced life skills course.
A gap year is one of the best decisions you can make. But we understand the question that parents and colleges often ask: what about your credits?
Our optional college credit add-on removes that concern entirely. The course is fully online and flexible, so you can complete it in your own time, whether in the evenings, at weekends, or whenever it suits you, without taking away from your experience in Barcelona.
The 9 credits you earn are transferable to most US colleges and universities and can often be applied toward general education requirements. You return home with a TEFL qualification, real-world experience, and college credits already completed.
The course is structured around three core units, each worth 3 credits. It focuses on practical, relevant content that builds real employability alongside academic credit.
Everything you need to stand out in the job market — from your CV and interview technique to professional networking and workplace communication.
The skills that don't appear on a CV but define how you handle real life — mental health, time management, stress, motivation, and building genuine confidence.
The financial knowledge that most people wish they'd had sooner — budgeting, saving, taxes, credit scores, debt management, and ethical decision-making.
Select the college credit option when you apply to the Semester or Double Semester program.
You'll get login details for the learning platform before you arrive in Barcelona.
Video lectures, interactive content, and assignments — completed whenever suits you.
On completion, you receive an official academic transcript to transfer to your home institution.
The course is designed for people with busy lives. There are no fixed lecture times and no classroom attendance, just a structured programme you can complete whenever it suits you.
Access all content on your schedule. Study in the evenings, on weekends, or whenever your day allows. No fixed deadlines or live sessions to work around.
Video lectures, interactive content, discussion forums, and assignments — all accessible from your laptop, tablet, or phone. All you need is an internet connection.
Gamified content, real-world case studies, and practical assignments make the material genuinely useful — not just something to get through for the grade.
The college credit option is available on the Semester and Double Semester programs. Ask us about adding it to your application.
