For teachers in the UK
An accredited 120-hour online TEFL from a UK registered learning provider, for about the price of a takeaway. With a British passport and a degree, it's your ticket to teaching in Korea, Japan, China, Spain and beyond, or online from home.
The honest comparison
UK providers often push Level 5 courses that cost much more. Here's what each one is for, so you only pay for what your job actually needs.
Swipe sideways to compare all three.
| TEFLmasters 120-hour | Ofqual Level 5 TEFL | CELTA | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Typical price | From about £37 | Several hundred pounds | Over £1,000 |
| How you study | 100% online, self-paced | Mostly online | Usually 4 weeks full time, with live teaching practice |
| Accreditation | OTCAC accredited, CPD-verified, UK registered provider | Ofqual-regulated qualification | Cambridge English qualification |
| Best for | Most jobs abroad and online that ask for 120 hours | Employers or programs that ask for Level 5 by name | UK language schools and career teachers |
Our honest advice: most schools and recruiters abroad ask for "a 120-hour TEFL", not a UK level. Check the adverts for the jobs you want. If they ask for Level 5 or CELTA by name, get that. If not, there's no need to spend hundreds more.
Your passport advantage
The UK is on every country's list of native English-speaking countries, so with a degree and a TEFL you can teach almost anywhere.

Start early
The UK is in the Apostille Convention, and the FCDO Legalisation Office apostilles UK documents. Most countries in Asia ask for these.
Have a solicitor or notary certify a copy of your degree certificate, then get it apostilled by the FCDO.
A Basic DBS (or Basic Disclosure in Scotland), or an ACRO Police Certificate, apostilled by the FCDO. Time it carefully, as Korea wants it issued within six months of your start date.
Needed for EPIK and most jobs in China. Ours can be notarized and apostilled for the visa.
Valid for at least six months beyond your contract, with empty pages. Renew early if you need to.
Korea and China do a medical check after you arrive, and some programs ask for a form first.
Passport photos in a few sizes, and EPIK asks for sealed university transcripts.
Not ready to move?
British teachers are popular with online students, especially for IELTS and Business English. Our $49 120-hour Premium TEFL builds online teaching into every unit.
FAQ
Yes, if it's accredited and the hours are real. Our 120-hour course is accredited by OTCAC and we're CPD-verified. We're also a UK registered learning provider (UKPRN 10089401), and every certificate has a QR code employers can check. It costs less because it's fully online and self-paced, with no classroom costs.
We're a UK registered learning provider, listed on the UK Register of Learning Providers with UKPRN 10089401, with a London office address. Our courses are taught online, so you can study from anywhere.
Usually not. Most schools and recruiters abroad ask for a 120-hour TEFL, not a specific UK level. Ofqual-regulated Level 5 courses cost much more and are worth it only if a particular employer or program asks for one, so check the job advert first.
For the E-2 visa, a Basic DBS check (or Basic Disclosure in Scotland) is the usual route, with an apostille from the FCDO Legalisation Office. An ACRO Police Certificate is also accepted. It should be issued within six months of your start date.
Yes, but you'll usually need a visa or a program. Spain's language assistant program and the British Council's English Language Assistants scheme accept UK applicants, and some private schools sponsor visas, especially outside Western Europe.
A TEFL is great for teaching online and abroad. Most British Council accredited language schools in the UK ask for a CELTA or Trinity CertTESOL, so if you want to teach in a UK language school, check what they require.
You pay in US dollars by card or PayPal, and your bank converts it, so $49 is about £37. Some UK cards add a small foreign transaction fee, and many app banks don't.
It's self-paced. Our 120-hour Premium TEFL gives you 12 months to finish and our other courses give you 24, and many people finish much sooner.
