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. If you only want to teach online and want the lowest price, the $29 Online Teacher TEFL is the leaner route.

What is the difference between the $29 and $39 courses?+

Both are 120-hour courses with the OTCAC-accredited core. The $29 Online Teacher TEFL has an online-teaching focus, selected video, 6 months of LMS access with a lifetime PDF learning summary, and technical and account support. The $39 Complete TEFL adds fuller video coverage, six complete ESL classroom lessons, tutor support and 12 months of LMS access.

What is the difference between the $39 and $54 courses?+

The $54 168-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 does the $69 Practical course add?+

Practical TEFL includes the full Complete course and adds two assessed lesson plans, two recorded demo-teaching tasks and 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 a new course coming soon at an expected price of $59. It combines everything in the 168-hour Specialist course with a Business TEFL specialization, for 200 hours in total. Details, content and price may change before launch, and you can contact us to hear when it opens.

Which courses include tutor support?+

Tutor support is included at no extra charge with the $39 Complete, $54 168-hour and $69 Practical courses. The $29 Online Teacher TEFL is self-directed, with technical and account support instead. 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 $39, $54 and $69 courses include 12 months of LMS access. The $29 course includes 6 months plus lifetime access to its downloadable PDF learning summary. 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 $29 course to the $39 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.
