StudyTEFL's Fully Online Accredited TEFL Certification
We’re qualified teachers on a mission to make accredited TEFL certification affordable for everyone. studyTEFL delivers high‑quality online TEFL courses (120‑hour and 168‑hour) at genuinely low prices - from $39–$64 - without cutting corners. You’ll study with clear video and text lessons, get responsive tutor support, and earn a digital certificate that's sent to your inbox generally within a few hours.
StudyTEFL courses are teacher‑built courses for teachers. Our fully automated online TEFL courses focus on building real classroom knowledge and skills. We provide you with clear module content with cognitive tasks that stimulate practical use of the knowledge you learn from lesson one. Our friendly, fast support comes from a small team that actually knows your name and circumstances.
Lesson Flows
Rather than just show videos and give text, we have introduced 'lesson flows': these help you visualize the situations that occur in a TEFL lesson and review your knowledge.
Content Videos
Rather than just leave our online TEFL courses with text only, we have added supplementary and full text-script videos to help visual and auditory learners remember our content .
Tutor Support
We pride ourselves on our friendly, fast, and professional customer service over email. We tried A.I. chatbots, but decided to set up a system of email and Telegram instead.
Affordable TESOL Certification for Teaching English Online or Abroad
Our affordable TEFL certification courses are fully online, so you don't have to wait around for essays to be marked or worry about tutors not working on weekends or national holidays. With the emergence of A.I., we found that fewer essays and lesson plans were being written by students anyway - that's not to say that all students weren't doing their own work, but the temptation was always there. Instead, we have decided to measure understanding through user-friendly quizzes and lesson flows.

Affordable TEFL Certification that's accepted globally
Every lesson includes both professional text instruction and complete video coverage with AI-enhanced speech. You’re not just reading PDFs – you’re watching real model teaching videos across different age groups, then learning the methodology behind what works.
Fully-automated learning isn’t something you’ll just find in a cheap TEFL course – it’s what most companies rely on for their expensive Level-3- and Level-5-equivalent courses. The difference? We invest in course quality instead of marketing budgets. We’re constantly adding new materials so that you get the best TEFL course possible.
Our teacher-made curriculum covers everything you need: grammar, lesson planning, classroom management, pronunciation, young learners, online teaching, and even AI integration for modern classrooms.

Why you should choose one of our StudyTEFL Accredited TEFL Courses...
We offer you the best cheap TEFL courses online with dual-accreditation and openness about who it is you're actually dealing with. How many accredited TEFL programs with cheap pricing actually provide names and transparency through memberships or registration details with government branches such as UKRLP?
StudyTEFL provides this information because we are directed and staffed by real, active teachers. Our company has now been running longer than five years, and we are beginning to really establish ourselves in the education world. Additionally, we are open with you about why we offer such cheap TEFL courses: because we can offer them this cheap and because it is impossible to compete with other TEFL providers in terms of advertising budget and established SEO networking (to feature high in search engine outputs, companies usually invest large amounts of money in programming search engine optimization - SEO - and/or pay dearly to advertise on such engines and other websites). Instead, we focus on providing low prices and quality content that we continue to develop and evolve over time. Our I.T. is mostly performed by a small company, though we are able to deal with many technical issues locally (quickly).

TEFL Certification that offers full tutor support
Believe it or not, smaller companies are very often the best overall value for customers for a number of reasons. We try to provide the best TEFL certification online because we are passionate educators, but also because if we didn't then we wouldn't last very long in this highly competitive industry. If we took a long time to respond to students' queries, you'd experience that yourself when asking us questions and you'd read about it in reviews.
Small companies offer more personalized customer service; we have smaller staff numbers, which means we can actually communicate with one another about specific students and save you time and hassle. When you take a studyTEFL course you get affordable TESOL certification including verifiable TESOL certificates with embedded QR-codes (premium courses), lifetime access to our materials, and much more, because we want you to love learning with us, and because you likely wouldn't choose us if we didn't go that extra mile (let's be honest)! We get it, we're only 5 years-old and we don't have a huge advertising budget or $4000 a year accreditation (ours is much cheaper!). Therefore, we need to try harder and incentivize you to study TEFL with us, but either way you win when you get TEFL certified with us.
All in all, what you get from studyTEFL is exceptional value: two accredited TEFL courses including TEFL certificate(s), full tutor support, free lessons to try, bonus material (such as TEFL games), reliable customer service, and lessons packed full of relevant material alongside videos and lesson flows that help you to visualize actual classroom or online English teaching.
