• TEFL tutors do not need to be native English speakers and can originate from anywhere in the world.
• With a TEFL certificate you can show employers that you are qualified to teach English and that you have a good command of the language, which will improve your job chances significantly.
• In some countries TEFL tutors are required to have a degree (in any subject) but there are also many countries where you can find a well paid teaching position without one.

• During the online course a teacher will be appointed to you who will give feedback on your assignments of each module. After having received positive feedback you can proceed to the next module. Your teacher also is your contact person during the course.

• You need to have a PC, Mac, Ipad or smartphone with internet access.
• To be able to watch the videos, Adobe Flash Player has to be installed on your computer.
• If you have a fairly new computer with a fast internet connection, you will not have any problems.

For students looking for a well-paid teaching job abroad:

• Level 5: 320 hours combi course (180 hours online + weekend course + specialization modules)
• or Level 5: 300 hours online TEFL course, if you already have teaching experience outside or in language teaching.

• Level 3: 120 hours online TEFL course to learn the basics of teaching the English language
• Level 3: 140 hours combi course, when you also need practical training with language teaching
• Level 3: 320 hour combi course, if you want to specialize in multiple target groups

For students who want to teach English in China (paid):

• Level 5: 200 hours of combination course including practical weekend (and relevant specialization modules)
• the minimum requirement is often the Level 3: 120 hours online TEFL course, which can be extended with specialization modules 

What the most suitable TEFL course is depends on what you're planning to do with the course and your previous work experience. It is important to know that the number of hours of your TEFL course or participation in a course weekend is reflected on your TEFL certificate, and will therefore be an important factor for a potential employer in assessing your competence. So, when you choose for a less extensive course you will need to be able to compensate this with other experience or knowledge.

• In search of a well-paying job? Take the intensive level 5 course: The level 5 course gives you a highly regarded certificate that opens doors for the higher paid TEFL jobs in popular and diverse destinations. If you are pursuing a career in TEFL, this certificate greatly increases your chances on the TEFL job market.
• Temporary or voluntary work as an English teacher: With the level 3 course you will learn the basic principles and skills to teach English. The course is particularly suitable if you plan to teach for a relatively short period (1 to 2 years) or voluntarily.
• Need practical experience? Combine the online course with the practical weekend: The practical weekend gives novice teachers the opportunity to put the learned theory into practice and is therefore virtually indispensable for anyone with limited teaching experience.
• Increase your chances of a job: Increase your knowledge with specialization modules: You can supplement the online and combi TEFL courses with so-called specialization modules for further deepening. Specialization modules help you to specialize in teaching specific target groups. These are therefore useful for both experienced and inexperienced teachers to follow, in order to increase the chance of a job.

• After booking an online or combi TEFL course, you will receive an email with log in codes for the online part of your TEFL course.

Level 5

• The moment you receive the email with log in codes is the moment your online course offically start. Note: You don't have to activate the course first to start the course time.
• If you want to start at a later time, mention this in your booking form.

Level 3

• The moment you click on the link in the email with the log in codes your online course offically starts. From that day you have 70 days (10 weeks) time to finish the 120h online course. For the specialization courses you get separate course time.
• You can start the course at any time after you receive the log in details. If you want to start a few days (or weeks) later, just wait to click on the link until you want to start the course.

• You can only start your TEFL course once full payment has been received.
• Paying for the course in terms would mean that you can only start the course after you have paid the last term, so it is not more beneficial than paying everything at once. Therefore, paying in terms is not possible.

• The creator of this course was the first to offer a complete TEFL-course online. It is still possible to do the entire course online, as long as you have internet access.
• A difference with other (partly) online courses is that with TEFL you do not have to download big files, like you still see in other courses.
• As TEFL has teachers worldwide, there is always a teacher available in your time zone who can give you quick, efficient and constructive feedback. This also applies if you do the course (partially) abroad.

• After your access to the online course has expired, you will also lose access to all information and assignments.
• If you want to save them, for example as a helpful tool for preparing a class later on, make sure you save the assignments on your computer or to print them before your access has expired. There is an option in the course menu on the left to directly print the assignment or save it to your computer. 
• To avoid losing the work you have been doing for the assignments, try to make the assignments on your own computer. When you are finished you can copy and paste the assignment to the online course and send it to your teacher. This way you can avoid losing your work halfway through and having to start over. 

• For a small fee you can request a duplicate of your certificate through your TEFL account.

• No, there will not be a final exam to finish the TEFL course. During the online course you have to finish each module with an assignment, which will be revised by your teacher. You can proceed to the next module once your assignment is approved by your teacher. This way you work from module to module.
• When you have finished all modules of your course, you will receive the TEFL certificate. In the unlikely event you only complete the basic module and not the grammar and/or specialization modules, you will still receive a certificate of the basic module.
