your certificate questions,
answered
who accredits this certificate?
Our 120-hour course is accredited by ACCREDITAT, an independent body that reviews TEFL course quality, assessment, and learner support.
is a 120-hour certificate enough to get hired?
For private language schools and online teaching platforms, yes. A 120-hour certificate is the common minimum.
Some roles and countries add extra requirements, such as a bachelor's degree, background check, or specific visa conditions. Always check the job ad and local rules.
how do employers verify my certificate?
Every certificate carries a unique certificate ID.
Employers can verify instantly on our certificate page using the certificate ID and graduate last name.
do TEFL certificates expire?
No. TEFL certificates do not expire.
That said, employers like to see recent professional development.
is this the same as CELTA or a level-5 qualification?
No. CELTA and level-5 qualifications use different frameworks and delivery models, often with supervised practicum.
Our course is a 120-hour accredited TEFL that is widely accepted as an entry route for private schools and online platforms. If a specific employer requires CELTA or level-5, apply for roles that match your certificate or upgrade later.
can I teach online with this certificate?
Yes. Many online platforms accept a 120-hour accredited TEFL certificate.
Some platforms may also require a degree, minimum internet speed, or a short demo class.
will I need an apostille or legalisation?
Sometimes. Certain visa processes or public-sector roles may ask for notarisation and apostille.
Your employer or recruiter will tell you if it is required.
do I get a digital certificate, a hard copy, or both?
You receive a secure digital certificate instantly when you complete the course.
Hard copy prints are available as an optional extra with tracked international shipping.
can I change my name or fix a typo after it's issued?
Yes. If there is a spelling error, we will correct the digital certificate free of charge.
Reprints for hard copies that have already been dispatched carry a fee.
what if I lose my certificate?
No problem. Because each certificate has a unique ID, we can reissue the digital version and validate it for employers.
Hard-copy reprints are available.
can I add this to LinkedIn?
Yes. Add it under Licenses & Certifications with:
- Name: 120-Hour TEFL
- Issuing Organisation: simpleTEFL
- Credential ID: your certificate ID
