You will learn how to manage a classroom, plan effective lessons, test, and evaluate your students, learn how to teach grammar, speaking, listening, reading, and writing. While you can study at your own pace, this course needs to be completed in 6 months from your date of enrollment and before you can start any other programs like the 30-Hour Online Teaching Practicum. Your accredited 120-hour TEFL certificate will be accepted for both online and in-class teaching positions.
The 150-hour online TEFL course is comprised of the 120-hour theoretical course and 30 hours of practical online teacher training.

All our courses are accredited by both the UK’s Online TEFL and TESOL Standards Agency and the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) group. All our certificates are accepted worldwide for both online and face-to-face teaching positions.
To make the most of your online teaching career, we recommend that you apply for positions with online schools and start building up a private student base at the same time. To get private students, you need to market your services online (we’ll show you how to do this in the PATH program) and we’ll give you an initial boost by helping you choose a niche and promoting you through our social media channels with over 25 000 followers.
After completing your training, you will become part of our Online Teacher Community groups on Facebook and WhatsApp. Here we will provide lifetime support and you will have a supportive network of other teachers, ask any questions of our support staff or course managers, and help other teachers in return.
While you can work through the course at your own pace, there is a time limit for completion. Our 120-hour TEFL/TESOL course has a limit of 6 months and our 150-hour TEFL/TESOL course has a limit of 12 months from the date of enrollment. However, the average candidate can complete the 120-hour course in around 3 to 6 weeks of part-time study or around 6 to 10 weeks for the 150-hour course. If you need more time, extensions are available for a small fee.
With our affiliate program, you can earn up to €25 by referring people to eTEFL Online Teacher Training. We will give you a unique link that you can share and pay you a commission for every successful enrollment through your link. No selling is required on your part, just share your link and we'll take it from there.
Our 30-hour Teach IELTS Exam Preparation course has been developed to show you, the teacher, how to prepare students for their IELTS exams. Over 3 million people take these exams every year so the demand for specialist IELTS teachers is massive. Having this certification will get you more students in the lucrative exam preparation niche at a higher hourly rate.
This course has been developed using the materials, resources, and experiences from our live TEFL Mentorship Program. We have had tremendous success in helping people just like you use their TEFL certificates to start careers as online English teachers. However, not everyone could devote the time to meet with us online every week to join these sessions so we have created this course that you can work through on your own time and at your own pace.
The TEFL Mentorship program is a 10-hour live program to help you take your TEFL certification and get interviews, set up freelance profiles, and start earning a living teaching English online. You will meet over Zoom with your mentor twice a week and includes all the resources you need to create your resume, set up profiles, prepare for interviews, and learn strategies to help you get your own private students and keep them. To date, we have a 100% success rate helping new teachers start earning an income online through this program so you are in good hands!
Until the 31st of July 2022, we also include a free Microsoft LX-3000 noise-canceling headset. This is one of the best headsets to use for online teaching and we will courier it directly to you wherever you are in the world!
