The TEFL Certificate
TEFL stands for “Teaching English as a Foreign Language”, and it is a standard certification for English teachers. The minimum requirement to teach online is a 40-hour TEFL certificate from an accredited source. It should be a general certificate rather than a skills specific version, e.g. a TEFL in grammar.
You can start working on your certification during the application process but your certification must be complete before you begin teaching on the platform. Or our team is happy to share their knowledge of available courses during your video call.
Please note, the cost of your TEFL will not be reimbursed.
