What qualifications do I need to join this TEFL course?
You must be a native English speaker and at least 17 years old. While a bachelor’s degree is not required to take the TEFL course, many teaching jobs in China do prefer or require degree holders.
How long does it take to complete the 120-hour TEFL course?
The course is self-paced and can be completed in as little as 4–6 weeks, but you’ll have up to 6 months to finish. This flexibility makes it ideal for students, career changers, or anyone preparing for a move abroad.
Will this TEFL certificate allow me to teach English outside of China?
Yes. The certificate is internationally recognized, so you’ll be qualified to teach English in other countries and online as well as in China.
Does the program help me find a teaching job in China?
Yes. Upon completion, graduates gain access to our global job board, guidance on the application process, and support connecting with trusted employers in top Chinese cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen.
