Your passport to adventure:

Do I really need a TEFL certificate?

Short answer: For the vast majority of teaching jobs (and visas), certification is key.

Having a TEFL/TESOL certificate shows employers you've got the essential training to confidently teach English to non-native speakers. Many countries and online teaching platforms actually require certification before they'll hire you or issue a visa.

With our accredited 120-hour TEFL course, you'll gain the skills and confidence to land teaching jobs anywhere in the world—online, overseas, or even from home!

When you finish, you'll get a personalised, internationally recognised certificate, featuring your name, completion date, and a unique verification ID—your official ticket to teach worldwide!

The course was well structured and easy to navigate through the modules. I was able to download my certificate immediately after completing the final assessment, now I can start applying for jobs thanks to SIMPLE TEFL.

Gift Chuene

What impressed me the most was the prompt and helpful support from the simpleTEFL team. Any queries I had were swiftly addressed, showcasing their commitment to quality service. The certification process was seamless, and I received my certificate promptly.

Franko

The lessons were clear (especially the definitions), very interesting, not boring at all. The exercises that I had to do to test my knowledge helped a lot, they also boosted my confidence. I recommend this course because you don’t only learn the theory, you also get tips on how to handle yourself in a classroom. I really enjoyed it!

Sinethemba Mbaza

Great course! A lot of information, but it is presented in a way where it isn't overwhelming at all. There are mini checkpoints where you can make sure you're understanding everything.

Melanie Kincaid

I cannot express enough how impressed I am with the quality of their program. The course materials were comprehensive and well-organized, providing me with a solid foundation in teaching English as a foreign language. The course was highly knowledgeable and supportive, always available to answer any questions or provide guidance. I highly recommend SimpleTEFL to anyone looking to pursue a career in teaching English.

Is this course right for me?

If you’re looking to start teaching English online or abroad — especially with no experience — then yes, this course was made for you!

It’s designed to be beginner-friendly, flexible, and practical. Whether you’re a gap year traveller, career-changer, or just curious about teaching, we’ll guide you every step of the way.

How long does it take to complete?

Most people finish in 2–6 weeks, depending on how much time they can commit each week. 

But there’s no deadline and you can go completely at your own pace.

Do I need to be a native English speaker?

Not at all. If you have a good level of English (B2 or above), you’re welcome to join! 

We’ve helped many non-native speakers become amazing English teachers.

Will I get a certificate when I finish?

Absolutely! This course is recognised by all the major online teaching platforms and prepares you for both online and in-person jobs. We even cover tips and tools for setting up your online teaching profile.

What support do I get during and after the course?

During the course, you’ll have access to friendly tutor support. We’re here to answer questions, explain tricky parts, or just cheer you on.

After the course, we’ll help you take the next step with guidance on finding teaching jobs, preparing your CV, and getting your certificate recognised for work abroad or online.

We want you to feel confident in both learning and fulfilling your TEFL journey!

Can you help with legalisation of certificates?

Yes we can!

Legalisation (also called notarisation, apostille, or authentication) is sometimes needed if you plan to teach in certain countries, like China or Vietnam.

We’ve partnered with a trusted UK apostille service that provide a discount to our graduates. We don’t earn any commission or affiliate fee — we just want to make the process easier for you!
