How much does TEFL certification cost?

The cost of TEFL certification can vary significantly depending on the specific course, study method, and course provider. At ITTT, we offer a range of TEFL courses with different durations and study methods, which means there isn't a single fixed price for our TEFL certification. Here are some considerations regarding our TEFL course pricing:

• Online Courses: Our online TEFL courses have a wide range of options, with varying study times ranging from 50 hours to 550 hours.
• In-Class Courses: In-class TEFL courses, which provide in-person training, have different pricing depending on the location of the course.
• Combined Courses: Combined TEFL courses, which blend online and in-class components, offer a balance between affordability and practical training.

When choosing a TEFL course, it is essential not to base your decision solely on price. While cheaper courses may seem attractive, it is important to consider whether the course content is in-depth enough to fully prepare you for a teaching job abroad. Employers typically expect a high standard of TEFL qualification, so completing an internationally recognized TEFL certification from a reputable course provider is crucial to enhance your job prospects and ensure your hard work is not in vain.

What is the cost of a standard online TEFL course?

Our standard online TEFL course, which is widely recognized and accepted by schools and language centers around the world, is the 120-hour TEFL certification course. This popular option equips you with the essential skills and knowledge needed to start teaching English overseas, online, or in your home country.

The 120-hour course is divided into two main sections:

• Teaching Skills: This section covers topics such as teaching methodologies, classroom management, and lesson planning.
• Language Awareness: In this part of the course, you will delve into key areas of English grammar, including the parts of speech and the tense system.

The regular price for this comprehensive training course is typically around $440. However, we currently offer the 120-hour online TEFL certification for only $249. This special offer includes access to a wide range of teaching videos, online tutor support, and a bonus 50-hour additional training course. Don't miss out on this fantastic deal to kickstart your TEFL journey!

What is the cost of an in-class TEFL course?

The in-class TEFL course is an intensive full-time program completed over four weeks at one of our training centers. This course covers all the same theory subjects as the online equivalent mentioned earlier but is conducted in a traditional classroom setting by a team of professional teacher trainers. The face-to-face instruction can be highly beneficial for individuals who thrive in a structured, interactive learning environment and find it challenging to stay motivated while studying independently.

The price of an in-class TEFL course can vary from one location to another due to differences in overhead costs. Currently, our Bangkok center offers the most affordable option, priced at $1,395 for the four-week program. This price includes several hours of real teaching practice, as well as a complimentary additional course of your choice, such as the Diploma in TESOL.

What is the cost of a combined TEFL course?

The combined TEFL course offers a hybrid approach, blending elements of both online and in-class training methods. Here is how it works:

• Online Study: You begin your TEFL journey by completing all the theory sections of the course online at your preferred pace.
• In-Class Component: After finishing the online portion, you can book a spot at one of our training centers to complete the in-person portion of your studies.

This provides you with the convenience and flexibility of online learning, coupled with the valuable in-person instruction and supervised teaching practice typically found in an in-class course.

The cost of the combined TEFL course can vary by location, but the average price is approximately $1,500. However, since the combined course requires less time at a training center, you can save on accommodation and living expenses.

What is the cost of a specialized TEFL course?

After becoming TEFL qualified, many teachers seek opportunities for career advancement. Gaining classroom experience is often a crucial step, but in many cases, additional qualifications can help teachers stand out and access higher-paying positions. Specialized courses that focus on specific areas of language teaching can be a valuable option. Here are some common areas of specialization:

• Teaching young learners
• Teaching business English
• Teaching English online

If you intend to teach English online, we recommend our 10-unit course in teaching English online with tutor support. This course can be taken as a standalone option after your initial TEFL course for a fee of $199 or as an initial package alongside the 120-hour course for $299.

Take a look at our 170-hour TEFL course with online specialization for more information.

Our courses in teaching business English and teaching young learners can also be taken individually for $199 each or as part of our Master Package, which includes the standard 120-hour TEFL course for a discounted price of $349.
