Ultimately, I got a valid TEFL certificate for $49 and got a teaching job offer within a few weeks

Couldn't be happier! This course taught me far beyond the basics of teaching (at least that's how I feel) and showed me how great teachers handle classes of different ages. The video definitely makes this even more valuable, which I'd advise to anyone thinking of a more basic course that only has text. Video and all of their practical aspects make this course such great value, but the tutors or staff make it so approachable and have a really nice human feel. I was annoying before and after the course with questions and needs...they met those needs well so I'm meeting their needs with 5 stars!

Gabi ManciniItaly · October 2026

Very nice learning experience

All has been exceptional and beyond where I think possible for the next price. I have been lucky to find this course and am feeling courteous that I should make a review to share to others. The training is very high level for knowledge and technological.

Chris FarnhamUnited Kingdom · October 2026

Already signed up for the extension hours

I’ll start by saying that when I started the course they had everything on their old system, which was fine, but comparing to the LMS course where I’m doing the extension, it’s a huge difference! I was actually happy with the website version because it had video and activities and enough quality text to make me forget about the esthetics looking a bit…old and worn, but seeing the new graphics and esthetics has ironically made me look back at the old course look and feel that taking a star off is justified. The new course is amazing. Like it looks superb in terms of images and layout. So far, the young learners units are pretty strong, but it’s hard to beat the text coverage of the main course I did. Still, it’s interesting knowing about Piagote and other child psychologists etc

Rita ZhouMalaysia · October 2026

I’d choose it again

Yes, this is a course for teachers new. The cost of the course is not high. There is much comfort in learning on the website linked for learning in online. For the professors who are making this, they are making a strong course where it is safe to learn.

Andy MarshallUnited Kingdom · October 2026

Content and price

It’s good. I was recommended the 168 hours course through a friend but went with the 120 hours since that’s what Jonny recommended when I emailed and told them my situation. The price was good and so was content. Solid.

Em WaltersUnited States · October 2026

Happy with what I got for the money

Fast forward to the end, I got my certificates all downloaded and emailed to a few recruiters, who have all okayed them, which is a big deal to me. What I paid for the course was a little mind boggling tbh, as the speed of responses was fast and with a caring attitude, and the course layout and material is excellent. I've marked them down for pre and post course because I saw that other courses had freebies like TEFL location guides to download and some lesson plans etc but I haven't seen anything like that here. Regardless, as I said, what I did happen to get was more than enough to make up for those other little things being amiss. I am so satisfied with the majority of things that I wouldn't hesitate to commend this company to others.

Great value and staff are prompt to answer

I recently finished the course and received an email to review. If you're thinking about doing this course, it's very good. I'd just say that you should do your research on what kind of job you're looking to get at the end of it, though. They told me it suits most 'entry or middle level' ESL teaching requirements but not ones like British Council or similar. I'll be going into this for the first time with my newb badge, so it suits me perfectly. I learned everything from past methods to modern ones like TPR and how to plan lessons for all ages and how to use activities to get motivation up and so many tidbits along those lines that I feel pretty blessed to have found the course. The resources given at the end of the course are wonderful (though I did need to email them to get them to sort out the formatting on a couple of them as they were restricted in width: they happily obliged anyway) so no real complaints.

Jacob BoydUnited States · September 2026

Fantastic experience, more than I expected

Fantastic experience. I was expecting just a basic grammar course, but it went so much deeper into teaching skills, games, how to find work, and building a career. I have nothing bad to say about this program; I highly recommend it!

Amanda GUnited Kingdom · September 2026

Never too old! I loved it!

What can I say other than being extremely proud of myself?! I have never taken an online course before, but watching a movie earlier in the year put an idea in my head about me bing abroad and teaching English, and now I’m finally in a position where I can do just that! It wasn’t easy, wasn’t hard, but it was extremely eye opening, rewarding, interesting, and just generally well executed! I couldn’t be happier with my experience!! Thank you so much to all at TeflMasters for your support and kindness!!!

3 for 3 with AI recommendations now

I let AI help me out with this one, which I've found has worked out every time I've done that, though my sample size is only 3 right now! The teflmasters website looked legit when I clicked the gpt link, and the accreditor OTCC checked out, so off I went with payment. After paying, you click through to their LMS and get going with the course. I waited a few days before getting into the modules, which I found took anywhere from 2 to 4 hours to get through. 120 hours is feasible, though I doubt anyone reads everything twice and watches all videos and all the other things. The text is really detailed and has lots of teacher tips and stories related to the topic, and there are many different types of learner groups covered as well as online teaching. I doubt I'll ever teach online, but I guess it could be handy if ever something like covid hits again. On the topic of AI, one review I read mentioned AI video voice, but there wasn't a single AI video that I saw or heard. The staff mentioned to me on an email that the text had been grammar and spelling checked with grammarly AI, which explains why there aren't any errors in anything I read, but the audio thing had me a bit puzzled. They potentially did have and then changed it. I personally wouldn't have an issue with AI narration or images if they helped me, but it was a nice touch having human narration, even if I only listened to it for the trickier modules when I wanted a review without reading. Honestly, I think the only thing missing is images, and if they're reading this review I'd say the only thing missing is a few choice images (though maybe not gifs!) in your text, AI or not. Regardless, I think the amount that I got for my money here was brilliant, so this is by no means a deal breaker. This is a great course with staff who seem to really care about their training quality. I hope this review helps. Thanks

This was worth every cent and more

Not often that I leave reviews but am happy to oblige the review request on this occasion. The course is properly equipped with everything from well thought out wording (mostly easily understandable language) to problem-solving tasks about classroom issues and the flow of a full lesson. There's a heap of really cerebral information and questions to make you at least think about being in the situation of a real teacher. I've never taught before, didn't have any base knowledge of it before, but now feel like I can at least stand up in front of a class and get my lesson done to an okay standard. The resources they provide are far beyond my expectations for the cheap price of the course and my recruiter said the certificate will easily be accepted for South Korea for my EPIK application and other hakwon(?) jobs if I don't get the public school route. I now need to figure out which pathway is best for me before getting any interviews under my belt. One last thing I just remembered is that at the end of the course there's a heap of job help documents like cover letter maker and that kind of thing. I'll be making use of their interview questions cheat-sheet!

Barry JamesUnited Kingdom · September 2026

Good price

Can’t complain as it was all there and the price was peanuts. Got good mileage out of the lessons and liked the freebies at the end. Only thing that bothered me was not having access to a number to call before purchase. It’s legit, but a phone number would’ve helped me get to that place earlier

Mike LUnited Kingdom · September 2026

Full stars for helping get through my blunder

Exceptional support from these guys. Not sure how I managed to put a double space between my names on the cert, but I did, so hey ho. Anyway, long story short, I emailed when I saw my downloaded certificate looked a bit off due to the big gap. 10 minutes later, I had a new certificate in my inbox with 3 review links. Happy to oblige,, it was a wonderful course. Best of luck to you guys!

Anna GarciaMexico · September 2026

I completed it!

I will recommend the course to all students and graduated students who will like to learn how they may become English teachers. The course prepared me to have the confidence and the skills to succeed as an online teacher of English. I receive the feedback that I could use to improve my understanding to teach.

Garrett BerryUnited States · September 2026

Crazy good tutors and staff

I'll leave a review to happily broadcast the high quality of your staff and teachers. The practicals course was the one I opted for and I found it highly rewarding. Tutors responded with relevant feedback, the tasks got me thinking about how to prep for lessons. The course even without the assignments was full from feedback. Thank you

Gav AndrewsUnited Kingdom · September 2026

Brilliant training course!

This was gold for me. Not only was it affordable, but it hit the mark when it came to quality. I did a course a decade ago with ITT or something and found it pretty grim with nothing but a very to show for it. This course is properly engaging and dapper.

Sandie CollinsUnited Kingdom · August 2026

Staff are so friendly and helpful

I always believe that a good company is nothing without strong communication from its staff, so I was pleasantly surprised that my emails were always answered by someone who was very human and very friendly. my question was answered within a couple of hours before I paid for the TEFL course and when I needed help with understanding a concept (I think it was about TPR for adults but my memory is suffering today), Jonny(?) gave me a really thoughtful response. I imagine most of these courses have the same information and structure anyway, but I'm super satisfied with the full deal.

TEFLmasters 120 Hour TEFL

I finished the 120 Hour TEFL and had my certs apostilled after I found a job using one of their China job recruiter links. I don’t think they get any commissions for these as I dealt with a recruiter. The course, I thought it was great because they cover so many topics; the feedback is good especially on practice tasks; and staff responded to my email. Everything was very especially because I passed and squeezed everything from it like a job application and paperwork.

Mandy BarkerUnited States · August 2026

Value, content and communication all exceptional

Impressed! Not going to say it was perfect, as little is, but the longer course was really interesting and did the job well of bringing me from someone who knew nothing (literally) about ESL to feeling confident about what to do on day 1. Thanks!

Alex CairnsUnited States · August 2026

All good

Everything went well with no surprises. You pay, get an account started, then you're free to learn. I watched quite a few lessons and have to disagree with a review I read of the course (unless they've changed the vidos) - there's no AI video voices...not that it would really have mattered to me, but AI did ironically bring it up to me as a potential negative. I did the 120-hour course rather than the longer one, so perhaps that's the culprit, but the 120 has real voices. The culture unit was interesting but I'd say they all taught me many new things, so I'm good with it all. I didn't get my own tutor, but two different tutors did respond to my questions pretty sharp. That's me. It's a good course.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to all the most common questions about TEFLmasters.

What is the course cost in full?

Currently, the full 120-hour TEFL-TESOL course is $49 including all course materials (video is available for all text material) and self-printable digital certification with QR-code verification.

How long will the course take to complete?

It is rated at 120 hours, but some students may be able to complete it in less time. If doing all activities and lessons as designed and specified, it will take roughly 120 hours for the average student. Some students are able to complete it full time in just one week, though this is abnormally fast - most take 3-6 weeks.

Is your course internationally accredited?

Yes. We have provider accreditation from The CPD Group and course accreditation by OTCAC. We are also a registered learning provider with the UK government.

Can your TEFL certificate be notarised and apostilled?

Yes. You can have our certificate notarised in the UK and then apply an e-apostille or physical paper apostille on it. We have a special agreement with Apostille.org.uk for a discounted service for our trainees.

What's the catch? How is this only $49?

We are teachers, experts in TEFL, and not a large organisation: our overheads are fairly low and we believe in affordable education. Since we were only established in 2020, we also have to keep prices low to compete with older TEFL course providers.
