TEFL courses can cost under $100 or several thousand dollars. How do you know which one fits your teaching plans?

Start with the jobs you want. Many English teaching roles ask for at least 120 hours of TEFL/TESOL certification, so a short introductory course and a 120-hour course may serve different goals.

Then look at what the price includes. Who answers your questions? Will you get feedback on your work? Is the provider accredited, and can employers verify your credential?

A 120-hour online course can also let you study while keeping your current job. Compare that flexibility, and any additional cost, alongside the training itself.
