Are free or cheap TEFL / TESOL Certification courses worth it? - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ TEFL FAQs
Marketing ploy: The course itself may be free or cheap, but legitimate TEFL / TESOL certification comes at a cost.
This practice is increasingly common across various online course providers. While you can access the course content for free or at a minimal fee, obtaining a certificate often requires an additional payment. Essentially, you end up paying for the certification, making the overall cost similar to that of a regular course where certification is included in the price.
Hours: Free TEFL / TESOL courses often lack the necessary study hours.
Accreditation: Most free TEFL / TESOL courses lack recognition.

Why Teachers Need to Complete a TEFL Certification Course Before Heading Overseas - TEFL Blog
Mark Crocker
TEFL Information Alumni Experiences
English has quickly become the leading language of the world. Whether we like it or not, most countries have chosen English as the language of business and international interaction, and because of this, many are pushing their people to learn English as a second language. To help guide this initiative, many businesses, schools, and private households are hiring native English-speakers to teach English to those wishing to learn. While learning directly from a native speaker is the ideal way to learn a new language, unfortunately, it is common for many English speakers to go abroad and hope to be able to teach effectively with no prior teacher training.

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.

Why take a TEFL / TESOL course - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ITTT
There are many reasons to take a TEFL course, not least because it is the best way to enable you to work almost anywhere in the world as an English teacher. While there are still some countries and employers that do not require teachers to have a formal TEFL/TESOL qualification these places are gradually becoming few and far between and the days where simply being a native speaker of English were enough to guarantee a teaching job are mostly long gone.
Increasingly, those hoping to teach English as a foreign language are required to have a certificate of at least 100 hours if not 120 hours. Therefore having a TEFL certificate opens up far more employment opportunities than would be available without one. Taking the time to study and complete a course also shows employers that you are...
