>>>>If you want to take a TEFL course, remember that you'll need at least 120 hours of class and at least 6 of teaching students.

Our experience is entirely different. We have been placing our certified ESL/EFL teachers in English schools around the world since 1998 and know for a fact that neither 120hrs nor teaching practicum are essential requirements for many ESL/EFL positions. In many countries the standard minimum requirements are a BA plus a TESL/TEFL Cert. and/or experience.

Of course it depends on where you want to teach and at what level. So, for example, if someone’s intention is to remain within the ESL industry and build a career in this field then they might want to look at more traditional in house training course. However if someone is starting up and would like to be equipped to teach around the world, then a quality online teacher training course like ours will allow them to get a taster of the ELT profession and see if it is really for them before committing time, effort and finances to get to the next level.
