FAQs: Answered
-
Q: What’s the benefit of taking a Level 5 Course over a Level 3?
You can teach English with a Level 3 qualification but a Level 5 certificate is more comprehensive and so it allows you to find better job opportunities, higher salaries and in potentially more countries.
-
Q: How and when would I receive the Course once I’ve bought it?
As soon as you pay for the Course, you’ll receive a confirmation email with the link to activate your Course in it. You can click this link whenever you’re ready to start – whether that’s straight away or in two years’ time!
-
Q: Can I take the Course if English isn’t my first language?
You can but we’d only recommend doing so if your English is at a near-native level. If you’re worried that your current level of English might not be quite up to scratch, give our friendly TEFL experts a call on the number at the top of your screen. If your English is good but not quite at a near-native level, you can take a Level 3 Course instead.
-
Q: Do I need a degree to take this Course?
No – you don’t need any particular qualifications to take our Course but of course, it’s always beneficial if you do have a degree. You can still find work teaching English abroad or online, too.
-
Q: Where can I go to teach?
To cut a long story short, you can pretty much teach English abroad in any non-native English speaking country. From Japan to Jordan and Asia to Africa, there’s plenty of demand for TEFL teachers the world over.
-
Q: How long do I get to complete the course?
To complete the 180 hours element of the online training, you'll get 180 days.
For the 60 hour specialist course, you'll get 35 days to get it finished.
More often than not, our graduates complete the course quicker than this, but if you're struggling for time, fear not, we offer extensions for up to a year. -
Q: When can I start looking for work?
You can actually start looking as soon as you’ve started your Course – you’ll just need to let any prospective employers know that your qualification is in progress. Good luck and happy TEFLing!
