What sets ITA's Digital Nomad Essentials course apart from similar courses on the market?

With over 35 million people embracing the digital nomad lifestyle globally, the desire to work from anywhere has never been higher. However, transitioning to this lifestyle requires navigating an intimidating minefield of visas, complex international tax laws, and remote work infrastructure. You could risk your savings guessing on your own, or you can fast-track your freedom with International TEFL Academy (ITA).

Unlike cheap, self-paced courses that leave you isolated with outdated pre-recorded videos and little to no personalized guidance, ITA’s Digital Nomad Essentials course provides a high-touch, interactive environment on a facilitated Moodle platform, without paying thousands of dollars for some other options. Our goal is to make this lifestyle as accessible.

You receive personalized, expert feedback on every single assignment, alongside weekly live office hours and synchronous lecture sessions. Conversely, you won't need to drop thousands of dollars on overpriced "masterminds" or exclusive nomad bootcamps. ITA delivers an elite, data-driven operational blueprint at a fraction of that cost, offering the ultimate balance of premium quality and undeniable value.

What truly sets this 60-hour, 4-week part-time course apart is ITA’s unmatched pedigree. For over a decade, we have been the gold standard in global education and relocation, successfully helping over 50,000 alumni transition to living and working abroad as professional English teachers and digital nomads. Our academic experts, advisors, and seasoned instructors don't just teach the lifestyle—they've lived it, and they have passion for it.

Are there any restrictions for enrolling in this course in terms of degree requirements or age?

No. Just about anybody can successfully enroll in this course and become a "digital nomad." Your success in the course and in building an international career will depend on your commitment to learning and putting what you learn in this course into practice. Living and working abroad is like anything else. The better prepared you are, the more likely you are to succeed.

Is this course only for people who want to teach English online?

No. While teaching English online is an excellent way to earn income as a digital nomad, this course is designed for anyone seeking a more mobile, international lifestyle—regardless of your profession or field.

If you are interested in teaching English to earn income as a digital nomad, ITA is a leader in training and certification for teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL).

We recommend you consider bundling the Digital Nomad Essentials course with your 11-week part-time or 4-week full-time TEFL certification course.

With a TEFL certification, you will gain an in-demand skill set and an internationally accredited credential that strengthens your digital nomad career in a global market of 1.5 billion English learners and a fast-growing online education sector. You will also save $80 when you register for both a TEFL course and the Digital Nomad Essentials course, and you will be eligible for a payment plan to spread your tuition over time.
