ESL Teaching Certificate
If you are a native English speaker you can become an accredited
ESL teacher in a matter of weeks!
Who needs a TEFL certificate (also called a TOEFL certificate or an
ESL teaching certificate)?
- Non-working partners of K-12 teachers can make themselves and
their teaching partner more marketable with a TEFL certificate.
- Bachelors degree holders who are not certified primary or secondary
teachers can teach ESL overseas with a TEFL certificate.
- Primary and Secondary (K-12) teachers who want to bolster their
resume and impress schools with the additional ESL accreditation.
Is a TEFL certificate required for ESL teachers? Yes and no... sometimes
it is required, other times and for other schools it is not. But in
any case, it is highly desirable.
Since TEFL certificates are not difficult to earn, consider working
toward one while waiting for a teaching position overseas.
Online ESL Certificates

online education, a TEFL certificate can now be earned completely
over the internet. Educators Overseas recommends two particularly
outstanding online programs:
Educators Overseas will honor TEFL certificates from both of the programs
above. Certificates from other programs may require additional verification.
