About TEFLmasters

Affordable TEFL courses with serious training behind the price. That's the point.

TEFLmasters provides online TEFL certification for learners who want an affordable, legitimate, and practical route into English teaching. Our aim's simple: high quality TEFL training at a lower price, without hidden course fees, fixed classroom dates, or unnecessary barriers.

Why choose TEFLmasters?

High quality online TEFL training, without the inflated price tag.

Our online TEFL courses are built to offer more value than the price suggests. We provide structured course text, video content, quizzes, assessments, online teaching guidance, practical scenarios, downloadable certification, verification, and job preparation resources.

You can try our free sample lesson before enrolling. We don't ask for your name or email address to view it, so you can check the course style first without a marketing follow-up.

After exploring the sample lesson, you can choose the course that fits your budget and goals: a $34 cheapest 120-hour course, a $49 regular 120-hour course, a $59 168-hour TEFL-TESOL course, or a $69 220-hour course. Each course is fully online and self-paced, with no essays and no fixed lesson times. Our cheapest course gives you 4 months of access, and our other course options give you 12 months to finish in your own time.

Affordable doesn't mean low quality.

Every course, from our $34 cheapest 120-hour option through to our $69 220-hour course, gives you course text, videos, quizzes, assessments, a digital certificate, and QR-code certificate verification. If you'd like verified practical teaching experience too, we also offer a $79 24-hour practicum add-on. This is affordable TEFL training built to look professional and work properly for new teachers.

Our courses need you to engage with the material and apply TEFL knowledge through practical tasks, quizzes, teaching examples, and assessment scenarios. The goal isn't just to pass. It's to understand how English lessons work in real teaching settings.

Certificates and apostille use

TEFL certificates that can support overseas work document processes.

Many learners use TEFL certification when preparing documents for teaching work abroad. Depending on the employer, recruiter, school, visa route, and country requirements, TEFL certificates may need to be notarised, legalised, or apostilled as part of a wider document process.

TEFLmasters certificates can be prepared for apostille processes through our legalisation partners, which can be useful if you're applying for work in countries such as China, Vietnam, South Korea, and other international teaching destinations where document legalisation may be requested.

Requirements vary by country and employer, so you should always check the latest rules with your recruiter, school, embassy, visa agent, or legalisation provider before applying.

If your employer asks for an apostilled TEFL certificate, you can use your TEFLmasters certificate as part of that document preparation route. Apostille and legalisation rules can change, and the final requirement's set by the receiving country, employer, or visa authority, so it's worth double-checking before you apply.

Job preparation bundle

Job support resources without pretending we can guarantee employment.

We include a job support bundle to help you prepare for the next stage after certification. This is designed to make the job application process clearer, especially if you're a first-time TEFL applicant applying to online teaching companies, schools, language centres, or recruiters.

We don't promise to find jobs for students. Instead, we provide practical job preparation resources and access to a job board where recruiters can share opportunities.
