Should I get a TEFL or TESOL certification? - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ITTT
If you enroll on a TEFL or TESOL certification course with ITTT you get to decide which acronym you have printed on your certificate. Either TEFL or TESOL is fine as they are used interchangeably throughout much of the English language teaching world. However, if you have a clear plan as to where you want to work, it is worth doing a bit of research to see which of the two is more commonly used in your chosen destination. If most employers are asking for TEFL qualified teachers in their job adverts then it makes sense to go with that option, and vice versa if TESOL certificates are more common.
