Frequently Asked Questions


Why do I have to take a 120-hour TEFL course?
The 120 Hour course is most recognized certification in the TEFL industry. Some countries may accept a lesser qualification but a 120 Hour course will take you almost anywhere you want to go!
I don't have any teaching experience or a degree, can I still take the course?

What is the difference between TEFL, TESL and TESOL?
TEFL stands for Teaching English as a Foreign Language. The term TEFL is mostly used when English is being taught in a country where it isn't the native language(e.g. teaching English to Chinese people in China). TESL is similar to TEFL and stands for Teaching English as a Second Language. This is where English is being taught to non-native speakers of English in a country where it is the native language (e.g. teaching non-native emigrants in the UK/USA). Finally, TESOL stands for Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages and encompasses both TESL & TEFL. The principles behind TEFL/TESOL are the same, and the training programs are special courses designed for teachers who want to teach English to non-native speakers of English.
