I have no degree or academic record, but I’m going to live overseas and I’ve been asked to teach English. How can I get qualified?

Solution

You need an accredited Certificate in TEFL/TESOL to be qualified to teach. You may need to begin by taking an Introductory Certificate and following it up with a Certificate in TESOL/TEFL and a teaching practice.

I am new to the world of TEFL/TESOL and I don’t know which course to take

Some courses I’ve seen are 40 hours in length. I want to be qualified to teach worldwide and I don’t know whether these courses will be sufficient

There are so many different course providers telling me different things that looking for a course seems like stepping into a minefield! How do I know who is giving me valid information? Also, how do I know that, once I have parted with my money, I will receive the course materials and an efficient service?

I fulfil the eligibility criteria for a Certificate in TESOL and I want to make sure that the course I apply for is going to be recognised.

I’ve scoured the Internet and found quite a few ’accrediting bodies’ for TEFL/TESOL. Are they all genuine? How do I know?

I can’t contact the course provider by phone

When I phone the course provider I am always connected to an answer machine.

I want to check out the accrediting body, but there is no phone number.

I’m new to TEFL/TESOL but I already know that I want to get qualified and start a career in this field. What should I be looking for in a course?

I’ve found an accredited distance learning course, but I want some practice in teaching a class and the course provider doesn’t offer any.

I’ve found the course I want and they offer a teaching practice, but it’s a long way from home

I want to pick up a bit of teaching work while I’m travelling and I don’t know which course to take.

I want to pick up a bit of teaching work while I’m travelling and I don’t know which course to take.

I’m taking up a volunteer post. I’ve been told I don’t need to take a course, but I’d rather have some idea of what I’m doing.

A course provider has told me that I don’t need to take a certificate and that because I have a degree I can go straight for a diploma. I’m confused.
