Overview
Prepare to Study Abroad
Understand the benefits
Online study abroad programs are a game-changer for students who want global exposure without leaving home. Whether it’s for credit, career prep, or just curiosity, going virtual is a smart and accessible way to get international experience on your terms.
- Stand out globally. Gain academic or professional experience that shows future schools or employers you’re globally minded and adaptable.
- Save big. Forget flights, housing, and transportation. Online programs make international education way more budget-friendly.
- Grow real-world skills. Get better at managing your time, staying organized, and communicating across cultures and time zones.
Things to know
Success in a virtual study abroad setting takes a different kind of hustle. It’s not harder. It just means showing up with intention and staying engaged, even when you’re halfway across the world.
- Connectivity. Don’t fall off the grid. Make sure your internet is reliable and your software is up to date. Keep in touch with professors and classmates to stay in the loop.
- Responsiveness. Respond to messages quickly and check in regularly. It builds trust and keeps things moving.
- Routine. Treat your online study time like the real deal. Set up a distraction-free workspace, stick to a routine, and block time for studying and breaks.
- Initiative. Speak up in class, ask questions, and get involved in discussions. Your visibility and voice matter even more in a remote space, and showing you care goes a long way.
Fields
Choose a Field
No passport required. Just pick a field that clicks with your goals. Many subjects translate really well to a virtual setting, so you’ll still get a meaningful, global experience.
Marketing
Whether you're analyzing engagement metrics or creating content calendars, marketing is one of the top online fields. Bonus: your work can be instantly seen by global audiences.

From coding to cybersecurity to UX design, this field is basically built for remote learning. Collaborate with teams around the world and build real projects from day one.

Getting Started
Tips & Advice
Taking your study abroad experience online is simpler than you might think. With the right tools and a bit of planning, you’ll be set up for a meaningful, global experience, without needing to pack a suitcase.
1. Get matched
Think less scrolling, more finding. The GoAbroad Online Advisor asks a few smart questions and delivers a shortlist of virtual programs that actually align with your goals.
2. Choose a program
Click around, compare what speaks to you, and save your top picks with your MyGoAbroad account. It’s your all-in-one space to track what feels right and skip what doesn’t.
3. Decide when to go
Timing matters, even for online programs. Your availability, energy level, and academic calendar all play a role in choosing the right fit:
- Summer - A popular choice for short, intensive programs. You’ll get a fast-paced global experience while school’s out, with more flexibility in your schedule.
- Fall - Great for aligning with a full semester. You’ll likely have steadier routines and the chance to take on more substantial projects.
- Winter - Ideal for a quieter period between terms. Many programs offer short options during this time, perfect for adding experience without disrupting your studies.
- Spring - A fresh start to the year. Fewer students apply during this season, so you may find more availability and smaller group sizes for deeper connection.
4. Funding & scholarships
Online study abroad can still come with costs, especially when tuition or program fees are involved. To help ease the financial load, fill out the scholarships & deals application and get matched with funding opportunities that fit your goals and budget.
5. Apply
When it feels like a fit, go for it. Hit “Apply Now” or “Inquire Here” on the program page, and your advisor will guide you from there—questions, paperwork, and all.
6. Get your essentials
Yes, even for online programs, prep is important. Check if your program requires any academic records, digital tools, or even passport and visa info (especially for hybrid programs).

Content and price
October 08, 2026by: Andy Marshall - United KingdomProgram: Accredited 120-hour TEFL certification online course $49
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.
Language and culture during business trip
October 08, 2026by: Adrian W - SpainProgram: Online Chinese Learning 1-on-1 - Schönberg Education
Their professional online presence had long since caught my attention. My overall experience is outstanding! I made rapid progress with my Chinese language skills through the interactive teaching. Furthermore I earned great insights into Chinese culture through the optional afternoon activities.
Hi adrian! We truly appreciate your feedback and hope you continue enjoying your Chinese learning journey! 😊
Very professional and accommodating !
October 08, 2026by: Jochen W - United KingdomFlexible organization accommodating my needs with a mix of online classes before joining the school and then the very flexible schedule while on site. Very qualified teachers, very experienced in teaching foreigners. We used to mix of material, including articles and textbooks that were specifically designed for my level of Chinese and what I wanted to focus on. I deeply recommend this school to everyone.
Hi Jochen, we truly appreciate your feedback and are glad you had a positive experience with us! Please keep up your great work. 😊
this was pure class and cheap as chips
October 08, 2026by: Paddy Walsh - Northern IrelandProgram: Accredited 120-Hour TEFL/TESOL Course $39 with certificate
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.
Happy with what I got for the money
October 04, 2026by: Em Walters - United StatesProgram: Accredited 120-hour TEFL certification online course $49
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.
TEFL course review
October 01, 2026by: Seth Mills - United StatesProgram: Accredited 120-Hour TEFL/TESOL Course $39 with certificate
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
September 28, 2026by: Josh King - United StatesProgram: Accredited 120-Hour TEFL/TESOL Course $39 with certificate
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
September 27, 2026by: A`dele Fischer - GermanyProgram: Accredited 120-Hour TEFL/TESOL Course $39 with certificate
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!
September 24, 2026by: Alana Cairns - United KingdomProgram: Accredited 120-Hour TEFL/TESOL Course $39 with certificate
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…
Very happy learning!!
September 24, 2026by: Michel Garcia - United KingdomProgram: Online Chinese Learning 1-on-1 - Schönberg Education
I had a great experience with my teacher carol. It was very fun and I learned a lot. I would recommend to anyone who wants to learn Chinese. The entire staff here was wonderful, and I loved the outside activities scheduled. The whole process of applying was easy, and the staff gave step-by-step instructions.
Hello Michel, we're so happy to hear you're loving the experience! 💙 Thank you for recommending our school to others. Your support inspires us to keep helping more people achieve their Chinese goals. Keep learning and shining! 🌎✨
Such a wonderful experience !
September 24, 2026by: Araceli C - FranceI did a 3 month program with this School. All teachers and staff here were great! Since the beginning I felt welcomed and included in all activities that took place. I am grateful to my teacher qingqing. She is professional and friendly at the same time. She was enthusiastic in every class which made classes a lot of fun but also ensured that lessons matched my learning pace. Qingqing was a huge support inside and outside of the class. I am also thankful to Giulia, who was a great help as I navigated many things while being in China for the first time.Thanks a lot.
Hello Araceli, thank you for your kind words! We're delighted to hear about your positive experience. We'll be sure to share your appreciation with our teammate! 💙Keep learning and shining!
This was worth every cent and more
September 18, 2026by: Craig R - CanadaProgram: Accredited 120-hour TEFL certification online course $49
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!
Downloaded my cert
September 17, 2026by: Tim Hughes - United KingdomProgram: Accredited 120-Hour TEFL/TESOL Course $39 with certificate
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!
Good price
September 15, 2026by: Barry James - United KingdomProgram: Accredited 120-hour TEFL certification online course $49
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
A Great Mandarin Learning Experience!
September 15, 2026by: Beatriz s - PortugalProgram: Online Chinese Learning 1-on-1 - Schönberg Education
I was a complete beginner in Mandarin, so it was definitely challenging at first, but also very rewarding. Everyone here is very kind and always willing to help, which makes the classes even better. Besides the language itself, I also learned a lot about Chinese culture, history, beliefs, and everyday life. The classes focused more on practical communication, which made learning feel natural and useful. I really recommend this program, especially for people starting from zero.
Hello Beatriz ! Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We're delighted to hear that the program has helped you improve a lot. Your feedback means a lot to our team, and we wish you continued success on your language journey. Jiayou. 😊
Good experience so far!
September 15, 2026by: Alejandro Jose - MexicoI'm currently doing one on one classes and have been really enjoying it so far. It’s been a very good environment for me to learn, especially seeing people from various kinds of backgrounds with a passion for learning Chinese has been really motivating for me.Classes have been really enjoyable as both teachers are very fun and easy going!
Hi alejandro, thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. We feel very delighted that you are happy with our classes, and It's a pleasure to be part of your journey toward Chinese fluency.Please keep up your great work.❤️

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.
Thank you for a great experience.
September 11, 2026by: Melanie T - United StatesProgram: Online Chinese Learning 1-on-1 - Schönberg Education
I had a great experience here. I highly recommend my teacher Ella, as she really helped me to improve my level of spoken Chinese. She shared a lot of interesting insights about the local culture and we had a really good time. I really learned a lot and feel more comfortable in speaking Chinese now. Hope to see you again somewhere someday ❤️ It was really a very good experience.
Hello Ella, we’re so happy to hear that our courses and service have been helpful to you! Thank you so much for your kind words. We’re cheering you on every step of the way! ❤️
This school is a wonderful place where to learn Chinese.
September 11, 2026by: Jackelyne Valladares - FranceThis school is a wonderful place where to learn Chinese. My teacher named tina is very fantastic, she helped me to improve a lot from 0 knowledge of Chinese language. The lessons are very entertained and you never feel you are not learning, she helsp you with any questions and doubts you find during your learning process. I definitely recommend them and without hesitation!Thanks very much!

Fantastic! I highly recommend this school. The personalized approach, the teachers, and the staff are very friendly. Private lessons are available. I went from very little knowledge of the Chinese language to speaking in sentences in a very short period. Thank you.
We’re thrilled to hear that, Rodolfo! Thank you for trusting us and for sharing your experience. Seeing your progress motivates us to continue giving our best every day. We’re cheering you on every step of the way! ❤️
