Your time and money are precious. When you decide to spend both on yourself you want to be sure you're making a wise investment in your future. We'd like to explain why trusting TEFL Express with your path forward is the best choice you could make.
Our full spectrum of online and classroom courses are extremely well structured and ingeniously designed for effective learning.

TEFL Express courses are independently accredited by ACCREDITAT (Valid until 31st May 2020 only) , specialists in accrediting TEFL/TESOL training courses.

We are part of the Language Link group and bring you the vast experience, true dedication and excellent reputation Language Link have built over the last 35 years.

While there are no official pre-requisites to take the TEFL Express course, you do need to have a good command of the English language, both written and oral. We recommend that non-native English speakers are at CAE level as a minimum. If your English is not to a sufficient standard then you'll struggle to pass the course and secure a job as an English teacher. We always recommend that if in doubt, non-native English speakers should contact us for additional advice.
You don't need to be degree qualified to take a TEFL course but it will be useful when applying for teaching positions in certain countries like Japan and South Korea where a degree is required to qualify for the correct work visa. There are thousands of ESL jobs open to non-degree holders all over the world, check out a few of the popular destinations on our blog.
When you start looking for teaching positions having gained your TEFL qualification, the exact requirements of each job you consider will depend on the country and school you're interested in. How you perform at interview stage is important as well as your credentials.
The more time and effort you put into your TEFL training, the more you'll gain from it. If you're seeking a paid TEFL job its recommended to complete a minimum of 100 - 120 hours training. This will equip you with the skills needed to apply for job tops. Our most popular training courses are the 150 hour TEFL Essentials Course and the 150 hour Deluxe Online Training Course.
If you're thinking of TEFL as a long term career, we highly recommend the Cambridge CELTA programme. You can study 4 weeks full-time or take a slower part-time option. Completing your CELTA qualification equips you with a very impressive teaching qualification that all international schools eagerly welcome as well as those in native English speaking countries.
