We take our studyTEFL TESOL certification seriously: your TEFL certificate is the award that you receive upon passing your TEFL training course, so it makes sense that we want it to be professional and streamlined. When you buy a studyTEFL course, your TEFL certificate is included. However, with premium (the cost is always $10 more than standard) it’s not just one TESOL certificate that you receive – you get a transcript, a foil-stamp TEFL certificate version, and a self-printable version. Our use of QR codes helps you prove that your TESOL certification is genuine, because it links to your very own transcript webpage. Employers can access this page to view your TEFL certification, as outlined below (premium only).
Please note that from December 13th, 2025, all premium certificates (those with QR code verification) must be verified using the system directly below.
Input family name (surname) plus the ST00000XX certificate number.
Example – Family name: Smith | Certificate number: ST00010GW
The unique StudyTEFL certificate number is at the bottom-right of the TEFL certificate. This number represents the student's successful TEFL certification.
Type www.studytefl.com/ followed by the unique TEFL certification number. TEFL certification can also be checked via the QR on a newer TEFL certificate.
Where it asks for the password, please enter the student's family name present on the TEFL certificate
(Including any capitals: e.g., Smith).
Employers: A TEFL certificate purporting to be studyTEFL-issued is not genuine unless they look similar to this (new version from April 2025) and/or can be located on our website (as described above: “How to view the TEFL certificate”).
To be clear, we do issue variations of our TEFL certificate (e.g. our old version had no QR code), but ALL VERSIONS include a certificate number that can be used with the student’s family name as a password to access their unique webpage with TEFL certification details. Simply put, no traceable TEFL certificate number means it is not genuine. If in doubt, try it out. We double-check all of our online TEFL certification links to ensure that they work well.
Newly graduated students are provided with a digital copy of both their TEFL certificate and transcript within 48 hours. We use the terms TEFL certificate and TESOL certificate interchangably because our training covers both types of learner.
At studyTEFL, we hate to boast, but what a TEFL certificate we give our students! Our TEFL-TESOL course certificate is stunning! Each studyTEFL affordable online TEFL course comes with digital PDF TEFL certification (since we cater to many American students and cover so much material, we also count this as TESOL certification). Premium 120-hour and 168-hour TEFL courses also come with an online static version of the TEFL certificate. One version of our TESOL certificate can actually be self-printed due to its QR code leading to a unique password-protected webpage for each student’s TESOL certification. Employers can view your TEFL certification online 24/7, which proves when TEFL certification is genuine. If you need this verification, buy the premium package.
