I purchased the 310 hour course and completed the TEFL 180 hour Level 5 course through the TEFL Institute. I am continuing to work on the additional courses. The material for the 180 hour course was comprehensive and relevant. I especially appreciated links noted in lessons to websites useful for future lesson material. When I contacted the TEFL Institute with a concern or question, my tutor responded quickly and the issue resolved. Also, the general webinars on TEFL teaching have been very helpful as I move forward as a TEFL teacher. I choose the TEFL Institute after a comparison of the top TEFL schools and visiting the school websites. The TEFL Institute website, for me, was sensibly laid out, the information was straight forward and overall not too "busy". When I contacted the school requesting a phone call, the call was scheduled, the staff member was friendly and my questions were answered. A caveat is the time frame for completing the entire course; it is short and I struggled due to obligations and unexpected events. I purchased a time extension but there should be more time allotted.

I’ve recently started my TEFL course and so far I’m very impressed with the experience. The course is well-organized, easy to navigate, and the content is engaging and informative. Even in the early stages, I feel like I’m gaining valuable knowledge and practical insights into teaching English as a foreign language.A special thanks to Killian Bukulin, who has been incredibly helpful and informative throughout the enrollment and onboarding process. He took the time to answer all of my questions, explain the course structure clearly, and made me feel confident that I had chosen the right program. His professionalism and support have made starting the course a smooth and positive experience.I’m excited to continue my studies and would highly recommend this TEFL course to anyone considering a career in English language teaching.

    faqs

    TEFL stands for Teaching English as a Foreign Language, and it refers to both the practice of teaching English to non-native speakers and the certification you need to do so. A TEFL certificate is an internationally recognised qualification that qualifies you to teach English abroad or online, and it can be a pathway to a career with many opportunities. 

    Yes, you can teach English online and not possess a degree. There are lots of opportunities out there once you’ve got your TEFL certification. You can start looking for work at either an online school or as a freelancer. You may want to build up experience in the UK before going solo.

     Like any role in the world, your income is usually driven by your experience. Typically you’ll start on the lower rates – between £10 and £15 an hour, and this can be improved by gaining experience and growing as a teacher. Freelancing affords you more freedom with regard to what you charge, but you’ll need to build your reputation to get steady work.

     

    The courses which we provide for people are recognised across the world, and they have gained official approval from regulatory bodies in both the UK and also in the USA. Once you have completed the course, you will have a qualification recognised all around the world. Right now, our 180-hour TEFL course is DEAC-approved, having obtained AQC status in the US. On the UK front, there is the Highfield accreditation and Ofqual approval.

    We always recommend to go with 120-hour TEFL course, because it will teach an individual everything that is required to start teaching English online, Once you complete your course you will get a TEFL certification that is valued in most parts of the world and you can start off  your TEFL journey.

    There are no minimum entry requirements for our TEFL courses. All you need is a stable internet connection and a C1 level of proficiency in English.

    Your new TEFL certification will last you a lifetime and help you to progress in your career. So, No Your TEFL Certification will not expire. 

     If you’re looking for a teaching job, then online teaching is the best way to do it. You can study at your own pace and develop skills and qualifications that will help you seek work online or abroad. However, it’s easier to study online here in the UK and get access to our jobs board.
