Which TEFL course is best for Non-native English speakers?

If you’re a non-native English speaker and you’re worried about being able to find a job teaching English online, don’t be! There’s lots of online teaching companies out there that hire non-native English speakers. In fact, you often have more to offer as you can teach your native language too – winner!

For non-native English speakers, we recommend taking our Level 3 TEFL Course. However, if your English is near-native you should be able to complete our Level 5 TEFL course with ease.

For those who are fluent in English and want access to the best online teaching jobs possible, we’d recommend taking the Level 5 180 Hour TEFL course. Much like the Level 5 300 Hour Diploma, it includes lots of helpful extras such as teaching one-to-one and advanced lesson planning.  Plus, you can become qualified in just a matter of weeks – amazing!

What’s included?

  • 100% online TEFL course
  • 180 hours of online TEFL training
