Explore our range of TEFL courses
You can enrol on an Online Level 3 TEFL Certificate or Online Level 5 TEFL Diploma TEFL course, depending on how you intend to use your TEFL qualification. So, which TEFL course is right for you?
Our Level 3 TEFL certificate course will introduce you to TEFL (teaching English as a foreign language). It is an online-only course and leads to a 120hr TEFL certificate. It is the best option if you want to find casual work teaching English, such as volunteer teaching, teaching whilst backpacking, plus some online roles.
Our Level 5 TEFL diploma course goes into more detail. It is also studied online and leads to a 168hr TEFL diploma. A Level 5 TEFL course is the best option if you want to find formal work teaching English, such as the contracted roles from our TEFL Jobs Board, or government teaching programmes, which usually include accommodation, flight reimbursement and help to get your work visa.

“I loved my experience in Spain so much that I am planning on staying in Madrid another year to teach English! I am so thankful for this journey I am on, that started with enrolling on a TEFL course. If I could give you advice, I would say go for it! Get out of your comfort zone and pursue teaching abroad! And take a course with The TEFL Academy, because it is very helpful.”
