Are online TEFL / TESOL courses comparable to in-class courses?
At ITTT, the curriculum for our 120-hour online and in-class TEFL / TESOL courses is largely identical. The primary difference lies in the observed teaching practice (OTP). In-class courses provide hands-on experience in real classrooms, allowing you to refine your teaching skills under the guidance of highly qualified and experienced teacher trainers. This practical experience often makes in-class courses the preferred choice for many employers. However, for those with time or budget constraints, our online courses offer substantial knowledge and skills and an acceptable entry level qualification.

If I opt for an online TEFL / TESOL course, will I receive a full TEFL certificate?
Absolutely! Upon successful completion of our 120-hour online TEFL / TESOL course, graduates receive an internationally recognized certificate, opening doors to teaching opportunities worldwide. Our specialized courses, such as Certificate in Teaching English to Young Learners (CTEYL) and Certificate in Teaching Business English (CTBE), as well as our advanced Diploma in TESOL, also hold global recognition. Notably, the international standard for TEFL / TESOL certification requires a minimum of 100 hours of study, so shorter courses do not qualify for full certification.
Who accredits online TEFL / TESOL course certificates?
Our online courses are accredited by the Paris University of International Education (PCIE) and Lamar University, USA . Each of our online certification courses has undergone thorough evaluation by the PCIE and has met all necessary criteria for full accreditation. All ITTT International courses are validated and credit-bearing by Lamar University, USA.
How do I access the online TEFL / TESOL course study materials?
All study materials for our online courses are accessible through our very own online training portal. The materials are provided in PDF format and can be printed if desired.
How will I be assessed during an online TEFL / TESOL course?
Our online courses are divided into units, each concluding with a brief multiple-choice test. While a specific score isn't required for each unit, an average of 75% across all units is needed to pass. Upon completing the units, you'll submit a summative task for assessment. After finishing all units and having your final task assessed, you'll graduate from the course and receive your certification.
How quickly can I complete an online TEFL course?
While our online courses typically offer a flexible six-month window (twelve months for the Diploma in TESOL), many students finish the 120-hour course in just 8 weeks. However, if time is of the essence, it's entirely possible to complete it in as little as 2 weeks.
How will I receive my online TEFL / TESOL certification and how long does it take?
We dispatch all certificates via registered post within five working days. Alongside your certificate, you'll receive a cover letter and a unique ID number for employer verification. Standard delivery usually takes two to three weeks, but for those in a hurry, we offer an email PDF scan and an express DHL delivery option, ensuring arrival within three to four days for a flat fee of $50.
Do online TEFL / TESOL certificates indicate ?online' study?
No. Our certificates only mention the total number of study hours. The method of study, whether online or in-class, is not specified on the certificate.
