Who stands behind the course
Honest about where we stand: we're not Level 5 yet, and we'll never equal CELTA or DELTA. For our price, though, you won't find a better TEFL course.

Where your certificate works
Suitable for around 95% of entry to mid-tier TEFL jobs
~95%of the job adverts we checked
Online and in-person roles that don't ask for CELTA, DELTA, Level 3 or Level 5 by name.
We're not CELTA, and we don't pretend to be. What we are is an unusually high-quality course for the price, one that actually teaches you how to teach English. A few employers, such as the British Council and some European schools, ask for a university or government-regulated certificate, and they say so in the ad.

–Tutor-graded written assignments: Practical courses only
Best for: self-starters who want a complete course, with feedback on every practice task, at the lowest price.
Longer courses, more value. Each step up costs about $10 more. The 168-hour adds 48 hours on teaching children, teens and adults, and the 220-hour adds 40 hours of Business English, both with your personal tutor, 2 graded written assignments and 24 months to finish. You get a certificate at each stage: 120 and 168 hours, or 120, 168 and 220 hours. More hours on your certificate open more jobs, especially in kids' schools, public school programs and company English.
How the Practical Assignments work. They're 2 written assignments, included in the fee for every Practical course (120, 168 and 220-hour), and you do them after the main course. Pass the main course and you download your regular certificate straight away. Then, if you choose, complete 2 lesson planning assignments: a tutor grades each one against a rubric and sends written feedback within 24 hours, with one resubmission if you need it. Pass them and you download a second certificate that says "with Practical Assignments", explaining that you completed 2 rubric-graded lesson planning activities with real tutor feedback. Skip them, or don't pass, and you keep your regular certificate.
The usual line is that cheap TEFL gives you no feedback and no practical skills. We disagree. Most pricier courses don't give you a dedicated tutor, tutor-graded work, scenario practice and full video, all together. Ours do, from $49.

We'll stand behind our price
What people say about cheap TEFL, and what you actually get
Low price, real teaching. Here's how we answer the usual objections.
ClaimCheap TEFL courses don't give you feedback.
FactOurs do, on every practice task. Even our $49 course has thousands of lines of instant feedback, written by our teachers. From $59, a personal tutor also grades your written assignments.
ClaimPay more and you get more.
FactNot usually. Most pricier online TEFL courses don't give you all of this together: a dedicated tutor, tutor feedback on your written work, scenario-based practice with feedback, and full video for the course text. Ours does, from $59, with 24 months to finish. Compare them yourself.
ClaimCheap means no practical skills.
FactYou plan real lessons, work through classroom scenarios and learn from real teaching videos. On every Practical course, your tutor grades your lesson plans, and it goes on your certificate.
ClaimA big-name course is worth paying more for.
FactOnly if you're buying the regulated qualification, such as a Level 5 TEFL or CELTA. Some providers lean on the name of their Level 5 to charge more for an automated 120-hour course. That reputation doesn't transfer: an automated course doesn't mean more just because it costs more. Compare what you actually learn. Ours include a dedicated Online Teaching unit, scenario tasks with feedback and full video for the course text.
ClaimCheap means nobody's behind the course.
FactOur courses are written and marked by qualified, experienced English teachers who teach in international schools, universities and online. We've sold accredited courses since late 2020.
ClaimLonger courses aren't worth the extra.
FactEach step up is about $10. The 168-hour adds 48 hours on children, teens and adults, and the 220-hour adds 40 hours of Business English. You get a certificate at each stage (120, 168 and 220 hours), the same personal tutor and 24 months to finish.

Quick questions
TEFL course FAQs
Yes. Our accredited 120-hour TEFL starts at $49, with feedback on every practice task. From $59, your personal tutor grades 2 written lesson plan assignments against a rubric, with personalized feedback within 24 hours and a resubmission, and it goes on your certificate. Of the courses we checked in November 2026, we didn't find a cheaper accredited 120-hour TEFL where a tutor grades your assignments. See the comparison
Online and in-person roles that don't ask for CELTA, DELTA, Level 3 or Level 5 by name. In our check of job adverts, that was around 95% of entry to mid-tier positions.
Most people finish in three to six weeks of part-time study. It's self-paced, so you can go faster or slower.

Most people choose the $59 120-hour Practical TEFL, which adds a personal tutor, 2 written assignments graded with personalized feedback and 24 months to finish. Choose the $49 120-hour Premium TEFL for the complete self-study course, $69 to teach children or $79 to add Business English.
Many don't, and neither do plenty of expensive ones, which are often fully automated. Every TEFLmasters course gives you thousands of lines of instant, tutor-written feedback on all your practice, with scenario-based tasks, real teaching videos and full video and audio for the course text. Every Practical course, from $59, adds a personal tutor who grades 2 written lesson planning assignments, sends personalized feedback within 24 hours and lets you resubmit, and your certificate then says "with Practical Assignments".
Not automatically. A higher price matters when it buys a regulated qualification (a Level 3 or Level 5 TEFL, or CELTA) that a job asks for by name. Otherwise, most 120-hour TEFL certificates are unregulated, whoever sells them, and an automated course isn't worth more just because it costs more, or because the provider also sells a Level 5. Compare what you actually learn: our courses include a dedicated Online Teaching unit, scenario tasks with feedback, real teaching videos and full video and audio for the course text. Then compare the support and feedback: with us, that's feedback on every practice task from $49 and a personal tutor from $59.
2 written lesson planning assignments that are included in the fee for every Practical course: the 120-hour, 168-hour and 220-hour Practical TEFL. You do them after the main course: pass the main course and you download your regular certificate straight away, then complete the assignments if you choose. A tutor grades each one against a rubric and sends written feedback within 24 hours, with one resubmission if you need it. Pass them and you download a second certificate that says "with Practical Assignments", explaining that you completed 2 rubric-graded lesson planning activities with real tutor feedback. If you skip them or don't pass, you keep your regular certificate.
