Build the foundation first. You'll work through the full 120-hour Complete TEFL course rather than jumping straight into performance tasks.
120-hour Practical TEFL
A practical TEFL course where a tutor reviews your work.
StudyTEFL's Practical TEFL course includes the full Complete 120-hour course, then adds two assessed lesson plans and two recorded demo-teaching tasks reviewed by a tutor.
It's for trainees who want someone to look at what they've actually planned and how they've delivered it, without pretending a recorded demo is the same thing as supervised live teaching practice with real students.

Why a practical TEFL course exists
Knowing what a good lesson looks like isn't quite the same as making one yourself.
The Complete course already gives you structured methodology, lesson planning, online teaching, six full ESL classroom lessons and 15+ teaching scenarios. Practical TEFL keeps all of that, then asks you to produce work that can be reviewed.
Create
Turn the ideas into two lesson plans and two recorded demo lessons. You're no longer only recognising good teaching choices. You're making them.
Get feedback
A real teacher reviews the practical submissions, giving you something more useful than a pass or fail quiz result to reflect on.
From course content to your own teaching
See where the individual feedback enters the practical TEFL course.
Tap a stage. The important difference is that the Practical route eventually moves from StudyTEFL showing you examples to a tutor looking at work that's yours.
Build the teaching foundation before you're assessed practically.
Work through the 24-lesson Complete TEFL core, including planning, classroom management, skills teaching, assessment, online teaching, different contexts and finding work.
Written learning and human-narrated video
Six complete ESL classroom lessons
15+ scenario-based teaching tasks
Turn course ideas into two lesson plans of your own.
Planning becomes something you produce rather than something you only read about. The tutor can review the choices you've made in the submitted work.
2 assessed lesson plans
Apply planning principles yourself
Receive planning feedback
Show how you would deliver teaching, not only how you would describe it.
Submit two recorded demo-teaching tasks. This creates evidence of your delivery for tutor review while remaining distinct from live observed practice with real learners.
2 recorded demo lessons
Demonstrate delivery choices
Receive teaching feedback
Use the feedback to notice what you might change next time.
The point isn't to collect comments for the sake of it. Feedback gives you another perspective on the planning and delivery decisions you've made before you move into job applications.
Identify strengths worth keeping
Spot choices that need refining
Carry the feedback into future planning
Real tutor feedback
See the kind of feedback your practical work can receive.
The Practical TEFL route adds something the standard self-paced course doesn't: a real teacher reviews work you have created and gives you feedback on your planning and delivery.
The aim isn't simply to tell you whether you passed. Tutor comments can help you notice where a lesson plan is clear, where an activity needs stronger sequencing, or where your recorded teaching could be more effective.
That gives you a chance to reflect on your own teaching choices before you move into job applications or your first classes.

$39 or $69?
The question isn't “which course is better?” It's “do you want your own work reviewed?”
The $39 Complete TEFL course already gives most new teachers the fuller StudyTEFL learning experience. You don't need to pay $69 simply because it's the highest-priced option.
Choose Practical TEFL when the additional value you want is individual feedback on lesson planning and recorded teaching. If you don't need that, keep the $30.
Who should choose this route?
Practical feedback is useful. It isn't automatically necessary.
Pick the statement that sounds most like you and see whether Practical TEFL is the right fit.
Whatever you choose, you can open a real StudyTEFL lesson first.

What practical feedback means
Recorded demo teaching, not CELTA-style live observed practice.
Practical TEFL asks you to submit recorded demo-teaching work and lesson plans for review. That gives you an assessed production-and-feedback stage beyond the self-paced core.
!
Not a substitute for supervised practice
It doesn't turn the course into supervised live teaching practice with real students. If a particular employer or programme requires observed teaching practice of that kind, this course isn't a substitute for that requirement.
We'd rather make the distinction clear before you enroll than stretch the word “practical” further than it should go.

Practical TEFL questions
What people usually want to know before paying the extra $30 for a practical TEFL course.
Is the practical TEFL course a 120-hour course?+
Yes. It includes StudyTEFL's full Complete 120-hour TEFL course and adds assessed practical submissions and tutor feedback.
How many practical assignments are there?+
The Practical route adds two assessed lesson plans and two recorded demo-teaching tasks.
Do I teach real students live?+
No. The practical component uses recorded demo teaching. It's not CELTA-style supervised live teaching practice with real students.
How long do I have access?+
The Practical TEFL course includes 12 months of LMS access. After that you can extend your access for $10 per extra 3 months.
Does it include online teaching?+
Yes. Online teaching is already part of StudyTEFL's core rather than a separate paid extra. The Practical route keeps that content and adds assessed planning and demo-teaching feedback.
Is the certificate included?+
Yes. Digital certification is included, and current core certificates use QR-linked online verification. You can download the certificate automatically after you pass, and the verification record is activated manually, so allow up to 12 hours.
Should everyone choose the $69 course?+
No. If you mainly want the full self-paced course, classroom observation, scenarios and tutor support, the $39 Complete TEFL route may be enough. Pay $69 when individual feedback on your own practical work is valuable to you.
Can I upgrade from Complete TEFL to Practical TEFL later?+
Yes. An upgrade never costs more than the difference between the two courses' prices, which is $30 between the $39 and $69 courses. Contact us and we will arrange it.
Is there a refund period?+
StudyTEFL has a 14-day money-back guarantee. The refund is scaled down once you have completed the fourth unit quiz, and no refunds are given after 14 days.
Can I use it for jobs abroad?+
It can support applications to eligible entry-level TEFL roles, but employers and visa authorities set their own requirements. A degree, passport eligibility, experience, legalised documents or a different qualification may still be required.
Want somebody to review your work?
Take a practical TEFL course, then put your planning and delivery in front of a tutor.
If that's the extra you want, Practical TEFL is the StudyTEFL route built for it. If it isn't, the $39 Complete course is still there.
