Start small, step up later

Certification included

Your StudyTEFL certificate is part of the course price.

Current core certificates include QR-linked online verification so employers can check the certificate record online.

No compulsory upgrade

You don't reach the end and discover that the basic digital certificate costs extra.

QR verification

Current core certificates link to an online verification record. It is activated manually after you pass, so allow up to 12 hours.

Apostille route

If legalisation is later required, the digital certificate can enter the UK notarisation and apostille process.

TEFL course FAQs

Questions to answer before you choose.

Which StudyTEFL course should a beginner choose?+

For most beginners, the $39 Complete TEFL course is the clearest starting point because it includes the full 120-hour core, classroom observation, scenarios, video and tutor support.

What do all the courses include?+

Every course has the OTCAC-accredited 120-hour core, full video coverage, six complete ESL classroom lessons, practical tasks with tutor-made feedback, tutor support and a QR-verifiable certificate. Access is 12 months on the 120-hour course, 18 on the 168-hour and 24 on the 200-hour.

What is the difference between the $39 and $49 courses?+

The $49 168-Hour Specialist TEFL includes the Complete TEFL foundation and adds 40 hours of Teaching English to Young Learners training plus 8 hours focused on adult learners.

What do Demo Lessons add?+

Demo Lessons (+$30 on any course) add two lesson plans and two recorded demo lessons that you create yourself, with individual tutor feedback on planning and delivery. The demos are recorded, so this is not CELTA-style supervised live teaching practice.

What is the 200-hour Specialist + Business TEFL course?+

It is our new 200-hour course for $59. It combines everything in the 168-hour Specialist course with a Business TEFL specialization, for 200 hours in total.

Which courses include tutor support?+

Tutor support is included at no extra charge with every course: the $39 Complete, $49 168-hour and $59 200-hour courses, with or without Demo Lessons. We usually reply within 1 to 24 hours, and slightly longer at weekends and holidays.

How long do I have access, and can I extend it?+

The 120-hour course includes 12 months of LMS access, the 168-hour course 18 months and the 200-hour course 24 months. On any course you can extend access for $10 per extra 3 months.

Can I upgrade to a bigger course later?+

Yes. An upgrade never costs more than the difference between the two courses' prices, for example $10 from the 120-hour course to the 168-hour course.

Are StudyTEFL certificates included?+

Yes. Digital certification is included with StudyTEFL courses, and current core certificates include QR-linked online verification. You can download your certificate automatically after you pass, and the verification record is activated manually, so allow up to 12 hours.

Are the courses accredited?+

StudyTEFL's core TEFL courses are accredited by OTCAC. If a specific employer requires CELTA, Trinity CertTESOL, Ofqual Level 5 or supervised observed teaching practice, choose the qualification the employer requires.

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 inspect the course before paying?+

Yes. StudyTEFL publishes a real free lesson so you can inspect the learning style and depth before enrolling. You can also pay securely with Stripe or PayPal.

Can I use these courses for teaching jobs abroad or online?+

StudyTEFL courses are designed for the broad entry-level TEFL market, including online and overseas teaching. Employers and visa authorities set their own requirements, so check degree, passport, experience, legalisation and qualification rules for the role you want.
