I took a 200 hour course, It was tedious but it was solid. It helped me with my ability to work online. But at the end of the day, I feel that its about your passion to teach. I feel like these online courses are great, you get out of them what you put in. I paid for a mid level course and recieve job placement assistance. It was worth the price of admission.
Absolutely. It takes time to process the information and effort to put it into practice, but the information is there.
From which institute u did??? Pls help Jamie..which is the best
@@SJ-pe8wn internationaltefltesol.
Can I know how much you paid for it please? 🤍
@@Can-wf9fy I think 300 dollars for the 180 hour course
Hi Jamie, I've learned a lot from your videos. Thank you. I'm not a native speaking and I've not English degree. But I have teaching experience , especially English experience for three years. I'm thinking about taking some courses. Which course will you recommend ?
For non-native speakers I recommend CELTA, CerTESOL or ITA. Where would you like to teach?
in China, in-person teaching. thanks@@ESLTeacher365
Hi Jamie, are you a fairy 🧚♀️ or angel 👼?
Thank you so much for your guidance and suggestions. I have joined in Premium tefl course after filling your survey form. I hope I’ll finish the course soon and can’t wait to teach. Wish me luck 🍀 😊
Lots of love to you Jamie, I wish you best ❤️
Do you want to teach abroad or online?
@@ESLTeacher365 both, yesterday I have joined in 310hrs course from premier TEFL.
hi thank you for your contents as usual 💕
i’m actually interested in teaching English Online , I’ll tend to choose more with teaching kids however i’m not still sure about the age’s range of it.
I have no experience in this field ,no degree and plus i’m an NNES so i really believe for me it will be challenging but i wan to try to succeed in due to my passion about English, languages in general and my longing for helping.
i’ve been learning English by myself a little bit more than 2 years with some self-study and i’m currently taking TEFL 270h courses.
in fact, i have taken this courses because i wanted to dip toes in teaching education in english, I was indecisive (not enough confidence) but i did it.
those courses really give me the basis with meanings and teaching terms that i didn’t know ( extrinsic,PPP, and so on),teaching method and examples.
Even though after taking those courses i wasn’t expected to get hired or looking for a teaching online job, nevertheless I don’t really after those course NNES can really start teaching or maybe i have no confidence but that’s my opinion. i have also need to pass CELTA examn (two problem with it first it’s quite expensive one and second you have to choose between children and adult not both). what would you recommend for enhance and pass the bravery of teaching as an NNES? please i need some tips
have a good day ☀️
i’ll also say that a lot of people said,TEFL courses more than 120hours is only waste of money. is it true ? after my 270hours premier tefl wich 120hours is included. as a NNES do you thing i need to take a TEFL 200hours 5 level ?
what is the difference with Level 3 and 5 according their TEFL courses please i’m on the fence and lost at the same time
Hi! CELTA is not an exam. It’s another TEFL course. If you want to teach online as a non-native speaker, I recommend freelancing since many companies either won’t hire you because of your passport or will pay you unfairly.
I recommend level 5 courses if you want to go more in-depth. However, for some of the more affordable companies, anything over 120 hours is just a bundle of additional courses like Business English and Young Learners. It just depends on what you need 🙂
what do you mean by choosing level 5 if you want to go in-depth?
-level 3 with 120hours are just a rough teaching passage and level 5 will be with more details explanations and teaching terms?
-as i already told you im taking 270 hours which 120hours are included and they explain the glabal meaning of the teaching terms. do you think as a NNES in willing to teach online , I should rebuy another tefl level 5? it’s tricky to know .
I thought CELTA is better to TEFL in matters of deep teaching practice that we are evaluated in
have a good day 🌞
@@enory5983 A level 5 course typically goes past the basics of the 120 hour level 3 course. Not that the format of the course is different, but there are additional components like Teaching Young Learners. You don't need to buy another course, but understand that most companies hire based on passport which is why I recommend freelancing (setting up your own business to get students). CELTA is a much more rigorous course than Premier TEFL and other similar courses because it includes intensive assignments and observed teaching practice. CELTA is geared towards teaching adults, so be aware of that.
Hey, so I've just finished my bachelor's degree in sports science, I also have a level 3 personal training qualification and have worked in gyms before. I also took lectures in my 2nd and 3rd year of uni to help 1st years with their modules in physiology and anatomy, so I'm not short of teaching experience. My question is, with all this experience and then adding this 120 hour course on top, would that be sufficient enough to secure myself a teaching job in south America? (I also speak fluent Spanish just to sprinkle that on top, unsure if it helps though lol) Thanks
Latin America is usually the most lenient when it comes to requirements so you should be fine. Which countries are you most interested in?
@@ESLTeacher365 Colombia, Chile and Costa Rica are probably the top 3!
Hi, question, I plan to sign up for the 310 hour course. I want to teach in Europe, France primarily. Is this course good for me? I am a fluent English speaker with no teaching experience what so ever. I noticed that there is a class, is this class just an introduction? Or will it be a weekly thing?
CELTA is preferred in Europe. Which class are you referring to? The Bootcamp? This is being offered next week and I’m not sure when I’ll run it again.
Hello. I have no experience teaching English, but I'm interested in teaching english abroad online. What would be the best course or path for someone like me to be successful? This premier TEFL course seems basic and i dont feel like I would be able to jump into work after completing it. Thanks for the great videos
For a more extensive course I recommend International TEFL Academy
Thank you for being so informative! 🩷 you are the best ☺️ If I want to teach abroad in Mexico, but I already have plenty of ESL teaching experience? Will it count at ESL teaching companies and schools there?
Yes it will 🙂
Hi! I'm very interested in this company, and have been in contact with them. They have a Germany summer internship thats 10 weeks long and they've said it helps prepare you more. Do you think it's worth the money?
If you can do a TEFL in-person and have the experience to go abroad as part of it, I highly recommend that! I did my first TEFL course abroad.
I have a Bachelor of Business administration in finance from the University of North Texas. I lived in Turkey as a little girl, but do not speak Turkish now(use it or lose it). I’m looking to teach in the city of Izmir, can you help me choose which TEFL program is best for me?
I recommend filling out my survey so I can send you an email with recommendations :)
So if I were to finish this 120 course, I will already be certified and have a TEFL certificate? Or is there a separate exam that gets you the certificate?
You earn the certificate once you’ve completed the course. There isn’t an exam.
Hi jamie, i am 12th pass student can i do the tefl 120 hours course ?is it necessory to be graduate
If you want to teach online that’s ok, but if you want to teach abroad, I recommend investing in a level 5 course.
Can't open the survey link. I am looking for recommendations about which course to take if I want to teach both online and abroad.
You can send me an email if the survey doesn’t work for you.
Have you heard if the Premier TEFL 180 hour course does any better with job placement?
You will have the same access to their job search materials no matter the number of hours.
Hi dear teacher,is Premier tefl legit?i want to choose this course in the future.Some teachers recommend this course to me.i mean one of them lives in the USA.Thank you for your support.
It depends how you want to use it! I recommend watching the entire video to learn more.
I have a score of 8 in IELTS . Reading 9, Listening 8, writing 8 speaking 7. What course do you recommend to teach in South East Asia. Will The TEFL Acadamy level 5 168 hrs be good or The TEFL institute of Ireland Level 5 Diploma
I only recommend courses I have personally tested and I have tested TTA but not the TEFL Institute. However, if you are a non-native speaker, I recommend investing in a course with a practical like CELTA, CertTESOL or ITA.
Good afternoon from Nigeria. I'm a non native speaker with bachelor's degree and teaching experience. Which TEFL do you recommend for me to teach abroad?
For non-native speakers I recommend CELTA, CertTESOL or International TEFL Academy since they all have a teaching practicum
Hi Jamie. Want to hear your thoughts about the TESOL and TEFL Certificate of International Open Academy. Is it ok for non-native speakers to take it? ☺️
Do you mean International TEFL Academy?
@@ESLTeacher365 International Open Academy. My bad
@@hyunchae8573 that one is VERY basic and is ok for online teaching, but not for teaching abroad.
@@ESLTeacher365 do you have any recommendations for Non-Native Speakers?
@@hyunchae8573 I recommend CELTA, CertTESOL or International TEFL Academy for non-native speakers.
Hi jamie, pls assist which course i should go for i want to teach both online n abroad. Furthermore i also want to brush up my grammar skills from basic to advance with business english. The course must include how to conduct classes, teach vocab etc.. do you think 270hr is accredited and would fulfil my requirement, thanks!
Also, i am a non native speaker with no degree in english language
In your case I recommend CELTA or CertTESOL.
@@tannya2000 r u also indian like me
I have completed my Masters in Chemistry and currently doing my doctorate ..and also doing teaching in college part-time
After completing my doctorate degree, i planned to teach in UAE
What are the courses should I get going before I apply for abroad ?
Kindly suggest me
Teaching in the UAE is competitive. I recommend getting a CELTA and teaching license and getting 2 years of experience before teaching there.
@@ESLTeacher365 thanks
Please I would like to know if Premier TEFL Certification PDF can be use to apply for a job, and if it is not a scam
The PDF certificate is enough for teaching online, but for teaching abroad it depends. You often need an official copy of your TEFL and to get it certified in order to qualify for the visa. This depends on where you are teaching and which visa you are applying for.
hi there ! I am neither a native English speaker nor I have obtained a degree in English but already enrolled this course! 310 level 5 government regulated course. Is that suitable for me or do you have any specific recommendation?
Where do you want to teach? What country are you from?
@@ESLTeacher365 I am from Sri Lanka. I am studying 310 TEFL course with Premier TEFL UK. I'd like to teach anywhere in the world except Sri Lanka.
@@iltltutorial3164 That's great! I recommend watching my video on how to teach abroad as a non-native speaker.
@@ESLTeacher365 Thank you so much for being supportive. Could you send me the video link?
@@iltltutorial3164 Just search "teach abroad as a native speaker" and it will come up :)
When working abroad are you given a lesson plan or you have to make your own lesson plan?
In most cases you need to write your own lesson plans. The exception would be if you do a language assistant program. In that case you may just be following your co-teacher’s plan.
@@ESLTeacher365 is there a platform, book or website we can use to help us come up with lesson plans?
What companies are hiring abroad with only a TEFL certification required?
If you do not have a degree, the best regions are Latin America or Cambodia. You will need to travel to these countries and interview in-person to get hired.
Hii do you remember me I am from India I asked you some days ago actually I want to ask you that if I got my teaching license than for which visa can I apply
It depends on where you want to teach. Each country has different visas and eligibility requirements.
I am talking about teaching English in Korea
Hi Jamie, I've watched your video months ago and decided to take 300 hours Ofqual regulated level 5 high advance diploma. I have teaching experience for more than 10 years, and teaching in Primary School recently. I also have bachelor degree majoring in English Education. With my qualification, is it possible to teach abroad in EU or Middle East? Oh, and I wanna say thank you, your video had enlighten me to upgrade my knowledge in English, especially in teaching English. Best regards.
Which brand course? Where are you from? It really depends on which exact countries you want to teach in. Some EU and Middle Eastern countries prefer CELTA.
@@ESLTeacher365 I take Premier TEFL. I'm from Indonesia.
@@pengejarmimpi6812 I recommend researching the requirements in the exact countries you are interested in. UAE is much more strict than Jordan, for example.
@@ESLTeacher365 Thanks for your recommendation 🙏
Witch course would you reccommend for a non teacher student??
Sorry but I don’t understand what you’re asking.
@@ESLTeacher365 sorry,ive never tought before witch course would you reccommend for that type of person?
@@zordrakxuxu6668 I'm not sure what you mean by "non-teacher student." Do you mean someone who is not studying Education? Or someone who doesn't have previous teaching experience? In that case I recommend a level 5 course with teaching practice like CELTA, CertTESOL or International TEFL Academy.
@@ESLTeacher365 my apologies,it was for person a non teaching experience ir degree?
@@zordrakxuxu6668 If you don't have teaching experience or a degree, then get a CELTA, CertTESOL or International TEFL Academy certificate.
Can indians also do tefl course online from the tefl academy
Yes, but do be aware that you’ll likely need a certificate of your English level from a certified exam like IELTS and a degree to teach abroad (each country and visa is different - this is general advice for non-native speakers)
@@ESLTeacher365 mam...i got B2 level in online english exam held free by british council... I dont have hard copy... will this be a barrier in tefl course
@@SJ-pe8wn If you want to teach English, it's usually recommended to have at least a C1 level. Some countries require C2. I recommend working on your level before doing a TEFL course and applying for jobs.
@@ESLTeacher365 can u pls help how to improve the level...and which exam to give for english level??? I gave the free exam held by british council which was of 30 min and 30 ques.... I got B2... Is there any other exam which i shud give to chk my level
It depends on where you want to teach. Some countries require IELTS, TOEFL, or Cambridge.
