It provided a perfect balance of theory and practical knowledge, giving me the confidence and skills to start my teaching journey.

The platform was user-friendly, and the modules were easy to follow, with clear explanations and useful resources. I especially appreciated the real-world examples and interactive elements that made the learning process enjoyable and effective.

The support from the Premier TEFL team was outstanding—they were responsive, professional, and genuinely invested in my success. Whether I had a technical question or needed career advice, I always received helpful guidance.

By the end of the course, I felt well-prepared to teach English abroad or online. I highly recommend Premier TEFL to anyone looking to earn their certification and take the first step into the world of TEFL. It's a fantastic investment in your future!

This company met my requirements

I looked at several TEFL companies before I chose PremierTEFL, and I decided to go with them because of their fast and reliable customer support, and the UK government accreditation for their online TEFL Course which stood out. This company met my requirements regarding what I wanted in an online TEFL Course.

Great certification!

I've waited several years to write this review, and after 5+ years, this certificate has really opened doors and allowed me to prosper in what I do. To be able to get higher jobs, you'll need to pair it with other niche certifications, but this is enough to be able to teach in most countries in businesses or online and start developing your own reputation as a teacher.

I was able to secure an English Teaching position at a school in Poland. They even offer a course that teaches you how to use Artificial Intelligence to help with lesson planning! The program is not hard, but you need to apply yourself and you will pass the quizzes and test.

Does this course in teaching international exams focus on specific exams like PET, FCE, CAE, etc?

This 60 hour course in teaching exam English covers the principles of teaching exams in general with a range of detailed examples of the CAE, FCE and IELTS exams specifically.

What is teaching exam English?

Teaching exam English is a specific style of English language teaching that is focused on helping learners to score well in their chosen English exam.

For English learners, a good result in an English exam can be life-changing. Scoring a high grade band can mean the difference between securing a visa to study abroad at university in an English speaking country or getting hired for a new job, or a promotion.

Because of the importance of good English exam results, learners will often be prepared to pay a premium for lessons with an effective exam English teacher.

How much can I earn teaching exam English?

You can expect to make upwards of $35 – $45 per hour as an exam English teacher. This depends on experience and expertise.

Exam English teachers are in high demand.

As a specialist exam English teacher you can charge upwards of $100 per hour for particularly focused lessons that will help your student to achieve the score they require.

While it might seem like a high fee initially, it can often mean the difference between gaining a place at an international university, a visa approval or getting a promotion in work. Which, in perspective, is a tiny investment considering the opportunity.

What are popular English exams?

Popular English exams are Cambridge English Qualifications including the Certificate in Advanced English (CAE), IELTS (International English Language Testing System) and TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language).

These exams are known and accepted worldwide as trusted English proficiency tests. As an exam English teacher it is likely that your students will be preparing to sit one of the exams in this range.
