faqs
TEFL stands for Teaching English as a Foreign Language. It’s a widely recognised certification that equips individuals with the skills and knowledge to effectively teach English to those whose first language is not English, abroad or online. TEFL certification programs usually include hands-on teaching practice, lessons, and a recognised curriculum.
You do not need a degree to teach English online. You won’t be needing any degree to complete the courses we offer, Once you have become qualified as a TEFL teacher, you’ve got two main routes you can explore. You can either be a remote teacher working in a school somewhere in South Africa, or you can be a freelance teacher who needs to find clients.
As is the case with any job, the amount of money that you can make will vary depending on your experiences and ability as a teacher. If you’re a new teacher, you’ll be making the equivalent of around $10 – $12 per hour. As your reputation improves and you grow in experience, you may find that you can get a pay bonus and move up the ranks within the place you’re working at. Freelancing affords you more freedom to pick your own hours and decide how you want to work – which is good if you have a steady stream of people happy to pay the rates – and some freelancers earn up to $35 an hour.
Yes, our qualifications are approved by regulatory bodies in the UK. They are also recognised globally as authentic qualifications for employers. In the UK, we work with Ofqaul and their partner Highfield, and in the US, the DEAC offers an AQC status for our courses.
We always recommend for 120-hour online TEFL course, which is fast and best for beginners, as it meets the minimum requirement and the certificate you receive thereafter will help you kickstart your TEFL journey, also if want something in like advance course you can also try 180-hour TEFL course which is a bit more on advance level
There are no entry requirements for people who want to take a TEFL course from South Africa. If you are over the age of 18 and have a C1 level of proficiency in English, you can complete the courses we offer.
Anybody who wants to take a TEFL course and become a teacher needs to be naturally confident and preferably outgoing. You will be working extensively with kids who need a good education. You’ll learn how to teach with confidence during the qualification, but obviously, we can’t teach you character traits.
Our TEFL teachers need to be at least 16 to be able to work in their home country, and you will need to be at least C1 proficient in English. You’re welcome to take our free English test to assess your level of fluency.
Your TEFL qualifications will last for a lifetime
If you want to kick off a brand-new career teaching English abroad, or you just like travelling, then getting a TEFL certificate gives you the freedom to do this. You can study from anywhere and explore the world at your leisure. This gives you plenty of time to pick and choose what you want from life.
Yes, you can teach English abroad even if you’re not a native English speaker. You’ll need to take a quick look at the visa requirements for your destination, though. Most places give a visa to an English speaking country resident, but the rules are different for non-native speakers.
