Our Online TEFL/TESOL Course will prepare you for teaching abroad in a classroom set up or teaching online from the comfort of your own home.
TEFL Org was founded over 10 years ago and since then we’ve trained 140,000 EFL teachers. Equipped with the skills, knowledge and confidence to teach English as a foreign language, our TEFL course graduates have found work all over the world. Just take a look at the student stories on our blog to see what’s possible.
The important thing to keep in mind is that although there is technically a distinction between these two terms, they are widely used interchangeably, so either a TEFL or TESOL certificate will meet certification requirements for jobs teaching English. One exception to this is in reference to university-level studies. For example, if you decided to pursue a degree in teaching English, you’d earn a bachelor’s or master’s degree in TESOL, not TEFL.
Level 5 Tefl CourseFor most online or in-person TESOL courses, the only requirement to sign up is to have an English language level sufficient to succeed in the course. For non-native English speakers, the recommended level for certification usually ranges from a B1 to C2 CEFR level (CEFR is the Common European Framework of Reference, an internationally used standard for describing language ability level).
