How much does a TEFL course cost?

The cost of a TEFL certification course can vary significantly since there is no standardized content or duration. Prices can range from as low as $49 on some discount platforms to several thousand dollars. However, price shouldn't be the only consideration. While more affordable courses may seem attractive, they might not be widely recognized by employers or provide the practical training needed for a real-world teaching environment. It is crucial to evaluate a course's content, reputation, and employer acceptance in your desired teaching region, rather than just its cost.

What is the cost of an in-class TEFL course?

In-class TEFL courses typically run for an intensive 4-week period, providing a deep dive into essential teaching methodologies, lesson planning, classroom management, and English grammar. A hallmark of these courses is hands-on teaching practice with real students, all under the guidance of seasoned teacher trainers who offer invaluable feedback. While in-class TEFL courses offer unparalleled preparation for aspiring teachers, they tend to be pricier due to their comprehensive nature. Prices for reputable providers, like ITTT, start at approximately $1500, though costs can vary based on location.

What is the cost of a combined TEFL course?

A combined TEFL course offers a flexible blend of online theory and in-person practical training, making it ideal for those with tight schedules. The first phase is completed online at your own pace, encompassing all EFL teaching theories. After this online segment, students attend in-person training at selected centers, benefiting from hands-on guidance by experienced trainers and real classroom practice. Financially, a combined TEFL course is comparably priced to a full in-class course. However, its shorter on-site duration can lead to significant savings in accommodation and living expenses.

What is the cost of an online TEFL course?

An online TEFL course is a cost-effective alternative for aspiring teachers on a budget. While lacking the hands-on teaching component found in in-class or combined TEFL courses, online courses comprehensively cover the theoretical aspects of EFL teaching. While some employers prefer candidates with in-class certifications, numerous teaching opportunities worldwide accept online qualifications. Typically, the starting price for a robust 120-hour online TEFL certification is approximately $250.

What is the cost of a specialized TEFL course?

For educators looking to expand their credentials after an initial TEFL certification, specialized TEFL courses are an excellent option. These courses allow teachers to specialize in high-demand areas such as teaching young learners, business English, or online English instruction. Each of these specialized 50-hour courses is designed for online completion, ensuring flexibility and convenience. Not only do these courses enhance your CV/resume, making them more appealing to potential employers, but they also open doors to higher earning potentials.
