“I was skeptical at first because the price was so low, so I did a lot of research before taking the course myself. I must say, it turned out to be a fantastic and efficient learning experience.”

Cheap TEFL course Canada · accredited online TEFL
A cheap TEFL course for Canada that doesn't feel cheap.
StudyTEFL's 120-hour Complete TEFL is $39 USD, fully online and available across Canada.
You get real ESL classroom video, human-voice video and audio, teaching scenarios, quizzes, tutor support, job resources and a QR-verifiable certificate. The low price comes from how we operate, not from stripping the course down.
No year-long fake sale cycle. StudyTEFL keeps its cheap accredited TEFL at the lowest practical price all year.
Cheap TEFL Canada
Why pay hundreds before you've taught your first class?
Canadian-facing online TEFL courses can cost several hundred dollars. StudyTEFL takes a leaner route: online-first delivery, a small teaching-led team and no inflated marketing budget.
That doesn't mean every expensive course is bad. Some include different regulation, live teaching or services. But if you need a standard privately accredited 120-hour online TEFL course, price alone doesn't make a more expensive course better.

Look inside the course
Don't trust the price. Check the evidence.
You can inspect a real StudyTEFL lesson before paying. That matters more than a sales timer or a provider simply telling you its course is “comprehensive.”
The course uses real ESL teaching video, scenario-based tasks, tutor audio-video, quizzes and checkpoint questions to make the learning more active.
What students say
The low price makes people skeptical. That's fair.
“These people really care about the student and learning that they try to make happen - there's so much to feel content about when you buy a course like this because it's so cheap but you get so much.”

“After doing my research, I signed up for StudyTEFL, and I definitely do not regret it.”

What can a Canadian do with it?
Use the certificate where a standard accredited online TEFL is accepted.
Teach online from Canada
StudyTEFL graduates use their certificates when applying for suitable online ESL roles. To date, we haven't had a graduate report that an online employer rejected a StudyTEFL certificate simply because StudyTEFL is UK-based.
That's our real experience, not a promise that every company accepts every applicant.
Teach abroad
Canadian citizens are eligible for many international teaching markets, but each country and employer sets separate rules for degrees, visas, nationality, background checks and qualifications.
If a job specifically asks for CELTA, Trinity CertTESOL or a regulated Level 5 qualification, choose the qualification it asks for.
The certificate
Cheap course. Professional certificate.
Current core StudyTEFL certificates use QR-linked verification, so employers can check the StudyTEFL record online.
For online work, the digital certificate is normally the useful format. If you later need legalisation for an overseas visa or employer, the certificate can use StudyTEFL's UK solicitor and FCDO apostille route.
Important: your Canadian degree, RCMP check or other Canadian-issued documents follow Canadian apostille rules. The StudyTEFL certificate follows the UK route because it's UK-issued.
