Why myTEFL?

Built by educators. Focused on real classroom readiness.

Built by Educators — Not Marketers

Designed by experienced educators who understand real classroom demands—not marketing teams or resellers.

Training That Follows Clear Frameworks

Structured teaching methodologies focused on practical classroom skills, not surface-level theory or content overload.

Accredited & Internationally Recognized

An accredited TEFL certification accepted worldwide and aligned with the requirements schools actually look for.

Support That Doesn’t Disappear

Access tutor and academic support throughout your course, with clear guidance and expectations at every stage.

Choosing the Right TEFL Starting Point

Different goals require different levels of preparation. Most teachers start with a full TEFL course — but not everyone needs to begin in the same place.

Exploring TEFL

You’re new to teaching and want to understand what TEFL involves, or you need a basic TEFL certificate for your CV or applications before committing further.

A shorter introductory course can be a sensible starting point, with the option to upgrade later.

Building or Refining Teaching Skills

You already teach, or have completed training before, and want to strengthen your methodology, lesson planning, and practical classroom techniques.

A focused teaching-skills course can deepen your practice without repeating full training.

Preparing to Teach Professionally

You plan to teach abroad or online in a real teaching role and want to be properly prepared with full classroom coverage and long-term flexibility.

Most teachers choose a full TEFL course to build a strong foundation from the start.

Common Questions

Clear answers to help you choose with confidence.

Which TEFL course should I choose?
The right course depends on how you plan to teach.

Shorter courses are useful for exploring TEFL or refreshing skills, and all courses can be upgraded later.
Can I upgrade my course later?
Yes. If you start with a shorter course, you can upgrade to a longer TEFL course at any time by paying the difference. Many teachers begin with an introductory option and move to full training once they’re ready.
Is your TEFL certification accredited?
Yes. myTEFL courses are accredited and internationally recognized. Our TEFL certification meets the standards required by schools and programs in many countries worldwide.

Do I need teaching experience to enroll?
No prior teaching experience is required. Our courses are designed for both first-time teachers and those with existing experience who want structured training.
