Who stands behind the course
Honest about where we stand
Not CELTA, and we don't pretend to be
We're not Level 5 yet, and we'll never equal CELTA or DELTA. What we are is an unusually high-quality 120-hour TEFL course for $29, one that actually teaches you how to teach English.
Suitable for around 95% of entry to mid-tier TEFL jobs
~95%of the job adverts we checked
120 hours is the standard most TEFL employers ask for, online and in the classroom. The $29 course gives you the same 120-hour certificate as our $49 course.
The exceptions
When you'll need something else
A few employers, such as the British Council and some European schools, ask for CELTA, DELTA, Level 5 or a university or government-regulated certificate. They say so in the job advert.
Some countries also ask for a degree before they'll give you a work visa.
Included: Mini Job Support bundle
TEFL recruiter links, even for $29
Updated TEFL recruiter links
Online schools and overseas job boards
CV and interview help come with the $49 course
