Are online TEFL courses as good as in-class TEFL courses?
At ITTT, the curriculum for our 120-hour online and in-class TEFL courses is largely the same. The major distinction between them is the observed teaching practice (OTP). In-class courses immerse you in real classrooms, letting you hone your teaching abilities with the guidance of seasoned trainers. This hands-on experience often positions in-class courses as the preferred choice for many employers. Though in-class courses are optimal for thorough preparation in teaching English abroad, our online courses remain an excellent choice for those constrained by time or budget, offering substantial knowledge and skills.
If I choose an online TEFL course, will I still be issued a full TEFL certificate?
Absolutely! Upon successful completion of our 120-hour online TEFL course, graduates are awarded an internationally recognized TEFL certificate, paving the way for numerous teaching opportunities globally. Our specialized courses, including CTEYL and CTBE, as well as our advanced Diploma in TESOL, also hold global recognition. Notably, the international standard for TEFL certification necessitates a minimum of 100 hours of study; therefore, shorter courses don't qualify for full certification.
Who accredits the online TEFL course certificates?
Our range of online courses are accredited by the Paris College of International Education (PCIE). All of our online certification courses have been thoroughly vetted by the PCIE and have successfully met all the criteria necessary to achieve full accreditation.
How will I receive the online TEFL course study materials?
All the materials you need to complete our online courses are accessed via our online training system. The materials are in PDF format and can be printed off if you wish.
How will I be assessed during an online TEFL course?
The online courses are divided into units that each conclude with a short multi-choice test. You do not need to achieve a specific score in each unit; however, you do need to achieve an average of 75% across all the units to reach the required pass rate. Once you have worked through the units you will then submit a summative task for assessment. Once you have completed all the units and your final task has been assessed, you will graduate from the course and receive your certification.
How quickly can I finish an online TEFL course?
While we provide a flexible six-month window for most of our online courses (and twelve months for the Diploma in TESOL), many students complete the 120-hour course in just 8 weeks. But if you are on a tight schedule, it is entirely possible to wrap up in as few as ten days.
How will I receive my online TEFL certification and how long will it take?
We promptly dispatch all certificates via registered post within five working days. Alongside your certificate, you will receive a cover letter and a distinct ID number for employer verification. While the standard delivery can take two to three weeks, if you are pressed for time, we offer an email PDF scan and an express DHL delivery option that ensures arrival in just three to four days for a flat fee of $50.
Do online TEFL certificates say 'online' on them?
The answer is no. Our certificates solely mention the total number of study hours. The method of study, whether online or in-class, is not indicated on the certificate.
