The honest comparison
These three qualifications do different jobs. Here's what each one is for, so you only pay for what you actually need.
Swipe sideways to compare all three.
| TEFLmasters 120-hour | Cert IV in TESOL | CELTA | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Typical price | From about A$71 | Usually several times more | Usually over A$2,000 |
| How you study | 100% online, self-paced | A longer course, often with teaching practice | Usually 4 weeks full time, with live teaching practice |
| Accreditation | OTCAC accredited, CPD-verified, UK registered provider | Nationally recognized Australian qualification | Cambridge English qualification |
| Best for | Most jobs abroad and online that ask for 120 hours | Community and adult English programs in Australia | ELICOS colleges and career teachers |
Our honest advice: if you want to teach abroad or online, most employers ask for "a 120-hour TEFL". If you want to teach at an Australian ELICOS college, you'll usually need a CELTA or similar instead. Check the job adverts first, so you don't spend more than you need to.
Your passport advantage
Australia is on every country's list of native English-speaking countries, so with a degree and a TEFL you can teach almost anywhere.
