How Much Does a TEFL Course Cost?

Tuition for TEFL classes can vary from $99 to $3000. However, cheaper classes under $1000 typically do not meet recognized international accreditation standards and are not usually taught by qualified instructors. In addition, cheaper TEFL classes often do not provide support and service in areas like job placement assistance.

How Much Does TEFL Certification Online Cost?

Online TEFL class tuition can vary from $99 to $3000. However, cheaper classes under $1000 typically do not meet recognized international standards and often do not include live practice teaching, which is required by most employers in the field.
