When is an
Online TEFL Course Okay?

In an ideal world everyone would take an in-classroom four-to-six-week TEFL training course.  But not everyone can afford to take the time off work and the heavy expense of such programs.  An online course is right for you if you are on a budget and if you can not stop working to take a full time course.

Online courses are also useful as you can access them 24/7 and you can study at your own pace, spending more time on issues that you think are important and less on those that you easily master.

An online TEFL Certification course is right for you if you want to learn some good basic skills for teaching English and the ability to deliver knowledge and skills for which your students have paid.

Online courses are an excellent way to get your feet wet and explore whether you might like to head overseas to Teach English and see a bit of the world. 

Employers in China, the world's largest and growing TEFL jobs
market, accept online TEFL Certifications. 

Korea is the world's second largest TEFL jobs market and does
not require a TEFL certification, but you can often move to the front
of the queue by having one as most teachers
going to Korea have had no training at all.

When might an Online TEFL Course
NOT be a good idea?

You should not take an online certificate course if you intend to teach
in Europe, where full time in-classroom certifications are usually required.  

You should not take an online course to qualify for any teaching position
that requires a full-time in-classroom course.
