Accredited Online TESOL & TEFL Courses, TESOL / TEFL Certificate Online

Our Online TEFL/TESOL Course will prepare you for teaching abroad in a classroom set up or teaching online from the comfort of your own home.

“TEFL” is the acronym for Teaching English as a Foreign Language or, simply put, English language instruction for non-native speakers. It is also commonly known as Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL), English Language Teaching (ELT), and teaching ESL (English as a Second Language).

TEFL and TESOL are common acronyms in the world of English language teaching and they are used interchangeably by most TEFL providers and language schools. Despite this common usage, it’s helpful for anyone entering the field of teaching English to speakers of other languages to have a clear understanding of what TESOL certification is and the nuances between these two terms.

For the most part, there are no requirements for TEFL/TESOL certification beyond English language proficiency. You don’t need to have a college degree, nor do you need any technical expertise to take an online certification. That being said, there are a few TEFL/TESOL programs that are more advanced, or even university level (offering college credit), that may, therefore, have additional requirements beyond language level, such as a minimum education (a high school or university diploma).
