I have a good overall impression of the course and company

At the start, I asked so many questions (maybe 10) by email to Study-TEFL before I was willing to pay any money (even with paypal), but they responded, and not with AI made responses (you know when you get AI responses because it's the big long dashes and joyless language). So, the responses encouraged me to take a chance on this company: I'm glad I did. Everything is legit and detailed, but I actually wonder how many thousands of people must get trained here for them to make any real money. They give so much guidance and free stuff at the end of the course. My opinion about this company is glowing. What they offer is fantastic.

Hard to find bad things to say

Sometimes you find a real bargain and it just goes to plan. This is that and that is epic! These guys have something really special in that they don’t seem to settle for just fine. For example, I messaged about a practice quiz having a font size that was a bit small for my liking and they told me they’d fix it. An hour later, I got an email saying it was fixed - every practice quiz since then has been in larger dont. Taking this course has taught me A LOT! Highly recommended to anyone looking for a TESOL cert.

this was pure class and cheap as chips

properly found this a bargain, like I paid close to 40 euro but it felt properly good value. took me 3 weeks to pass. when I finished there was a bangload of stuff to download and look at and the certs are legit to look at with a code to check.

Great value option

I’m glad I chose this course. The 120 hour TESOL was very informative and had lots of practical application opportunities. Though I payed very little I got a tremendous amount from it. The later units took everything even deeper. The certs are pretty.

TEFL course review

Impressed is the word I'll use. Yes, there is room for growth by including a community chatroom or something and maybe having buttons that I could've clicked if I wanted to flag something rather than messaging, but these are trivial compared to what I got in terms of training. I paid little but got lots, and that's why I chose them, and that's why I will recommend them to others.

168 hour TEFL-TESOL

I actually did the 168 hour course and not the 120 advertised here. Will keep it quick. Material is modern with no old videos, text is clear and easy to read along. There's a narrator for the text but I didn't listen. Certs are clean and look nice. I felt like I got good value from it.

My experiences with the studytefl course were very nice

My course was a good mixof revision for grammar and language that I have known already from my school and also many useful informations about how I can teach the language to others. It is a clean website and has many extra bonus learning resources.

Simply brilliant!

The staff, the course, the price, the activities, just everything is so well put together. I’m happily pay double or triple the price now that I’ve done it, though I’m glad I didn’t pay more lol. I’m just waiting now for my course summary download, which I’m told is a new thing…let’s see…

Downloaded my cert

Finished a few minutes ago and downloaded both a normal looking certificate and one that it says I can print by myself. The main difference I can see is there’s no border on the latter and no golden stamp. But both have a qr. The course was simple enough to work through and has given me a full bag of resources and information to take to my first class, whenever that’ll be!

Elegant

I loved how attractive and smooth the course skin was. It was interactive, modern, self paced and has video coverage. The value is outstanding. Units on online teaching and putting games into lessons made this perfect for me.

Worth the hard work imho

To be brutally honest, I thought this was going to be a scam at first, so I paid with paypal for peace of mind. It's not a scam - it's a legitimate training course and it's fantastic! If I have one piece of advice for anyone reading this it's to either message them if you're in doubt or just look at the lesson they give you access to (which at the time I had not the foggiest about). If you get through the course without being impressed by the intensity of the training process, I'd be amazed tbh. I just wasn't expecting this for 30 pounds or so that I spent on it. I can't speak highly enough of it.

Pete EdwardsUnited Kingdom · September 2026

It was the quality of something much more expensive

Exceptional is the word I'd use to describe the course environment and inclusions. I paid 30 pounds and feel like I got a semester of university or something. I think the world of TEFL must be super competitive or something for outfits to feel the need to include so much in their courses: this guy had videos of the unit text with subs, videos of teaching, videos of concepts, videos of videos (just joking!), interactive textbooks, interactive textbook quiz questions, scenario training, job support materials and I'm pretty sure I've missed a few things. It's deep and it's generous. After I finished, I realised I'd spent a load of time on things I didn't need to for advancing to the next parts of the course, but I did it because I liked the process of learning. If you're actually into knowing how to get the scoop on teaching the language then I definitely recommend this. It's legitimately good. Even if you want to go through it a bit quicker, I reckon it allows for that but you can't really get through it without learning the basics anyway as there's just so much detail and density to it. I'm considering waiting a while before going ahead with the extension because they said there's going to be a 200 hours version relesased soon.

Engaging and great value

I can’t speak highly enough of this course! Staff were kind, the units were layered nicely so that I always felt in control of what was being taught and there was so much video footage of real classroom interaction. It’s an incredibly thought provoking course.

I liked

It is a nice course with many learning task and affordable price. I needed the subtitle on video so I think the video collection is good for student like me. I can understand most of what the lecturer say, but subtitle are the number one . Next we have task and activity that I like alot and then ideas of games I can use to my young student.

Packs a punch for being so cheap

Not much to say aside from that this was perfect for my budget and level. I knew nothing about tefl before, but now I feel like I know alot. I finished in 6 weeks with weekend study and a bit of night reading. It's not boring, but it is work. Resources were useful and everything was where I'd say it should be.

I took the 120 Hours online TEFL course this year

I will try to keep my experience short and helpful to others. The learning environment of the course is excellent, it’s smooth and responsive, loading quickly. The content is great value because there is a large quantity of information in each unit with video. Activities are helpful. One thing they should look at is how to allow quiz repeat attempts without answering the exact same questions if I was correct the first time. The course is strong.

Diane CairnsUnited Kingdom · July 2026

Good TEFL experience

The videos make this very good value for money: there's a British guy who narrates the 120 hr course videos that appear alongside/above the course text and that was good for me. The assessments come after practice ones, and everything is intuitive and well-arranged. I learned a great deal.

Don SmithUnited Kingdom · July 2026

Better than previous course I took...

Better than previous course I took because of videos and problem-solving and abundance of info, but I really want to see more about how different TEFL jobs vary (eg public school Vs academy). As someone with experience in public school, I did find most of the stuff on methods and assessment etc interesting, and the scenario tasks did try to provide examples, but I'd like to see more explicit differences (similar to how they highlighted seating arrangement differences) - just a minor improvement area. Aside from this, this was much more detailed than the course I did 5 or thereabouts years ago (company went bust). The value for money here is incredible, so its hard to not recommend it.

Harry JamesCanada · July 2026

Recommended

Good communication when needed (it's self-paced, so it's mostly not needed), nicely delivered course materials, and lots of extra tips and videos make this course a bargain. I especially liked the feedback system on practice tasks.

Value, professionalism and education

I loved this! I took the 168 hour course and was gobsmacked by how much value there was in the course. I intend to teach where my roots are in China and wanted a TEFl course that was a nice blend of affordable and educational...this turned out to be it. Getting to this company wasn't easy - I refunded a cheaper course because it was all text and fluffy theory without anything that really caught my attention (i literally fell asleep reading and scrolling lol), but this was much more interactive with at least more clicking plus it had audio that I could play if I wanted to do other things while studying. It's hard to describe the formula for this course, but it works! Did it take me 168 hours to complete? No. Could it have done if I read and watched everything? Easily. What was my secret? (I didn't read or watch everything...I skipped parts...). Really though this was an excellent course and has relieved my mind a little about what to expect from teaching English. Oh and the tutor Jimmy/Jonny(?...) was super helpful with advice and information regarding getting my certificate apostilled. Do I recommend this TEFL site? 99% - I'll keep that 1% just in case my experience isn't everyones (lol! No I'm sure I'm the nomr rather than the exception). For 30 pounds, this was an epic purchase and I'll happily share my positive experience with others.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to all the most common questions about studyTEFL.

Are StudyTEFL courses accredited?

Yes, our courses are accredited by OTCAC, a private accreditor that accredits numerous long-standing TEFL courses. Our 120-hour course was given the rating of 'Excellent'.

How much is your cheapest online TEFL course?

Our cheapest TEFL course is currently (October 2026) $29. This includes a digital TEFL certificate and high-quality content, but paying slightly more increases the benefits package (e.g., full audio-video narration, job-seeker support bundle, more videos of teachers modeling how to teach, etc.).

How are you able to offer TEFL courses so cheaply?

We're teachers and we offer an honest price. Our team is fairly small and we believe education should be accessible and high-quality. Most TEFL companies offer automated content delivery and feedback with their online courses - once the product is made, the main costs are digital fees (e.g., software, webhosting, coding, etc.), support costs, and advertising. We keep our content high-quality so that support time is minimal - we barely advertise.
