Most TEFL providers won't show you their course before you pay. We do, because we're proud of it and want you to see exactly what you're buying. How can an online course be trusted without that kind of transparency?

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 the price, 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 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.
Premium: Job Support bundle
Job preparation resources for TEFL applications
Updated TEFL recruiter links
CV and interview help
Lesson plans and worksheets for demo lessons
