How much does TEFL accreditation cost?

The cost of TEFL accreditation depends on what you mean by “accreditation.” For students, there usually is no separate accreditation fee. Instead, you pay for a TEFL certification course, and if the provider’s course has been externally reviewed or accredited, that quality assurance is built into the course price. Online TEFL courses vary widely in cost. A basic self-paced course may be relatively inexpensive, while a more comprehensive 120-hour or advanced TEFL/TESOL course with tutor support, video content, teaching practice guidance, or job support resources can cost more. In-class TEFL/TESOL training is usually more expensive because it includes classroom instruction, facilities, and often observed teaching practice. If you are a school or training provider looking to get your own TEFL course accredited, costs are different and can vary significantly depending on the accrediting body, review process, renewal fees, and compliance requirements. For most future English teachers, the key is not paying separately for “accreditation,” but choosing a reputable TEFL or TESOL certification course that meets employer expectations. ITTT offers a range of online TEFL and TESOL certification options, so learners can choose a course based on their goals, budget, and preferred level of support.
