Theory, Practice, and Real Experience
Our 150 hour Online TEFL course covers essential teaching theories and methodology and gives you hands-on practice teaching live English students for 5 hours. The course includes 10 hours of personalised tutoring and coaching via Zoom from your trainer.
You will develop a solid understanding of effective ESL teaching principles with support from your trainer, who will provide detailed written and verbal feedback through our online portal, email, and Zoom. During the practical teaching module, your trainer will observe your lessons and offer coaching to help you improve.
Flexible Learning
Our online course gives you complete independence and flexibility, allowing you to get your TEFL certification from wherever you are in the world. It’s designed for people who can’t or don’t want to commit to a 4-week onsite course, or who prefer to study independently online.
Setting you up for success
Our TEFL course has been specifically developed to meet the demands of employers worldwide, as well as giving you valuable experience in using online learning platforms and understanding the dynamics of online teaching.
We incorporate our knowledge of what language schools look for in teachers, ensuring that you’re well-prepared to secure a job and deliver high-quality teaching.
Self-Paced, Guided Learning
The course is entirely self-paced. We recommend you complete it within 4 to 12 weeks, but you’ll have up to 6 months if you need it. You’ll have access to 10 hours of personalised coaching with your TEFL trainer via Zoom.
Practical Teaching Experience Included
Unlike many other online courses, our TEFL course includes a practical teaching module, where you’ll teach non-native learners live over Zoom. This hands-on experience is essential for building your confidence and skills. Your trainer will observe and provide coaching and valuable feedback after each lesson.
Teach Abroad
Our TEFL course qualifies you to teach in a wide range of settings, from private language schools to public school programs across the world. Many countries have a consistently high demand for English teachers, and can offer competitive salaries, accommodation packages and cultural experiences.
Teach Online
You’ll also be qualified to teach English online, a rapidly expanding field that allows you to work from anywhere you have internet access. Online teaching platforms provide flexible opportunities to teach students across different time zones, and can be a great way to balance work with travel or other commitments.
Job Support
Our lifetime job support includes assistance with everything from building a CV tailored for teaching positions to navigating teaching contracts. We can also guide you through the process of applying for jobs in specific countries, including tips on interview preparation.

Do I need to do anything to prepare for the course?
You don’t need to prepare in any way. However, we would recommend taking our add-on Grammar Course (free when you enrol). You’ll learn grammar on the course itself, but this will give you a headstart.
What kind of job help and support is provided?
We provide lifetime job support, which includes assistance with everything from building your CV to interview preparation and guiding you through the process of applying for jobs in specific countries. All you need to do is get in touch at any time, and we’ll be happy to help.
Can I take the course if I'm a non-native speaker?
Yes! As long as you are proficient in English speaking and writing, you can take the course.
Please bear in mind that, to secure a teaching job after the course, you may be required to demonstrate proof of your English proficiency, for example with an official TOEFL, IELTS or Cambridge Proficiency score. While “native speaker bias” unfortunately still exists, the barriers are coming down all the time. So if you can demonstrate a native or near-native level of English proficiency, many countries and online platforms offer teaching opportunities for non-native speakers.
Please get in touch with us if you have any questions about this – we’ll be happy to help 🙂
Can I take the course if I don't have a degree?
Yes – you don’t need a degree to take our course.
When it comes to finding work, while some countries require a Bachelor’s degree for teaching jobs, there are many that don’t. So there are plenty of opportunities in countries and with online platforms that value your teaching skills over university qualifications. Feel free to get in touch and we’ll help you explore your options.
How does the job placement guarantee work?
Through our amazing partner centre in Costa Rica, Guatemala and Peru, we are able to offer guaranteed job placement if you meet all of the following requirements:
– Native English speaker or native proficiency (C2 CEFR)
– Bachelor’s degree
– Pass-Good or Pass-Excellent on the TEFL Course
