The course is interesting, everything is to the point. It gives me the chance the repeat my university knowledge. Especially first modules... are exactly from my university program. The assessments are very detailed, it takes a lot of time to complete. I work in the school, I have to do my lesson plans as well, there is not enough time to spend by writing assessment. Once it took 6 days to complete it. I wish assessment could be in a form of the test where we could add only our examples. To my mind there is no need to print all the information from the course again. And also checking of the assessment takes time, it could be done faster. Anyway, thank you very much. I really love the course 💕read more

Questions and Answers

What is TEFL? A Short Guide to Teach English

TEFL means ‘Teaching English as a Foreign Language’. It is a certification that helps fluent English speakers teach English to non-native speakers. It qualifies a person to teach English both online and abroad. A 120-hour accredited TEFL course is needed for an entry-level teaching job.

For a South African, a TEFL qualification means you are certified to teach anywhere. You can either apply for an international setting or teach online.

Can I teach English overseas using TEFL if English is not my first language?

Yes, you can get a teaching job and teach English abroad with TEFL certification, even if English is not your first language. Many successful ESL teachers are already teaching English as a foreign language overseas.  However, it is critical to have strong and fluent English language abilities, as well as the relevant qualifications and certifications.

What is the cost of a TEFL course in South Africa?

The cost of a TEFL course in South Africa depends on the course type, provider, and level of accreditation. Entry-level TEFL courses usually start from around R2,000 to R48,000.
