Alongside your own personal tutor, you will also have access to a huge number of online resources, featuring up-to-date information on a whole host of topics – in fact, on everything you could possibly need to know. And after you’ve completed each of the five downloadable modules, you’ll be able to keep them for your future reference.
How Long Will The Course Take?
We don’t set time limits, or expect you to fit in with our schedule, we work around yours. So whether you’re at a university, finished with school, working full time, have children to care for, or are ready to hit your studying full steam ahead – this is the course for you.
We have had some students qualify in as little as 2 weeks (with a lot of hard work), and other students who have completed the course gradually over 3 months or more. We have also had part-time students who took years to complete their course. And that’s fine too!
Ideally you should submit at least one assignment a year. If this is not possible and the course is left inactive for over 12 months, then we will help you reactivate it. See here for details.
Who Is This Course For?
There are no course prerequisites, you don’t need any previous experience – just a determination to learn and an enthusiasm for teaching English. We provide the rest!
Where Is This Course Accepted?
Not only do we have graduates working in all five continents, but also in both the public and private sector – in everything from one-room schools to large university campuses.

How Much Can I Earn?
The exact amount you can earn will depend on where in the world you choose to teach, at which type of school or institution, and whether you decide to teach online or onsite. In most cases a first time TEFL teacher will earn enough to cover living expenses and a bit extra – enough to cover outings, additional travel, and some savings.
Additionally, in some countries teaching jobs may also include extra benefits such as free housing and/or flight reimbursement – making it an even more appealing career option.

Why 120 Hours?
From our extensive experience we have found that 120 hours is the standard requirement for practically all reputable TEFL job vacancies.
For this reason we do not offer any TEFL courses below 120 hours, because we believe that we have a responsibility to ensure that all of our students graduate with all of the qualifications and skills that they need to get a job in TEFL.
