What is a 
TEFL/TESOL certificate?

A TEFL/TESOL certificate is a professional credential proving you’ve completed 120 hours of training to teach English to non-native speakers. 

Employers use it as a minimum hiring requirement for English-teaching roles at private language schools and online platforms.

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—an 120-hour certificate is the common minimum. 

Some roles and countries add extra requirements (e.g., 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 quickly verify via our Verify a Certificate page or by contacting our team with the ID and your full name. (We reply fast.)

Do TEFL certificates expire?

No. TEFL certificates do not expire. That said, employers love to see recent professional development.

Is this the same as CELTA or a Level-5 qualification?

No. CELTA/Level-5 qualifications involve different frameworks and delivery (often with supervised practicum).

Our course is a 120-hour accredited TEFL, which is a widely accepted entry route for private schools and online platforms. If a specific employer demands CELTA/Level-5, apply for roles that match your certificate, or consider upgrading later.

Can I teach online with this certificate?

Yes! Online platforms accept a 120-hour accredited TEFL. Some also require a degree, minimum internet speed, or a short demo class.

Will I need an apostille/legalisation?

Sometimes. Certain visa processes or public-sector jobs may ask for notarisation and apostille. Your employer or recruiter will tell you if it’s required.

Do I get a digital certificate, a hard copy, or both?

You receive a secure digital certificate instantly on completion of 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’s a spelling error, we’ll 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:
  • Name: 120-Hour TEFL
  • Certificate Issuing Organisation: simpleTEFL
  • Credential ID: your certificate ID

Do you offer refunds or a guarantee?

Yes—see our money-back guarantee policy. If you haven’t started or you’re not satisfied early on, reach out and we’ll help.
