Saw this pop up as I’m about to release a similar video on my channel. Glad to see a nice honest video that doesn’t try convince people a $20 course is good. :)
Cheers for this video. Over the past year or two, the conversation seems to have changed from whether one SHOULD have a TESL / TESOL / TEFL, to WHICH institution / certificate one should choose. I get it, so many programs popping up. These videos are necessary. That's for informing new and developing teachers!
Hello! I did my own research on tefl courses. I wanted to do the tefl academy course that you said to do, and it showed up to be not fully accredited. It means that it is not globally recognized? Can you please help? You understand better than I do.
I was literally searching the internet a minute ago about tefl because it's new to me (I do know about celta though), your vid is very helpful. Thank you :)
Thank for sharing these very useful tips on this video, Jaimie. I love the content. I was a former ESL teacher as well in the Philippines and abroad before.
I"m thinking of moving to the PHilippines and looking into teaching as a job possibility. How hard was it for you to get a job there? What program did you get your TEFL from?
@@ESLTeacher365 yeah I m going to follow your all videos I have done masters in English literature from Pakistan and have 1 year teaching experience which TEFL course suits me kindly guide me.
@@nousheenyasir2768 It depends if you want to teach kids, adults or both! CELTA is fantastic for teaching adults, but if you want to teach kids, International TEFL Academy is a fantastic course.
Jamie thanks for your videos. I really appreciate it and it'll help me encourage my self to teach abroad. I hope someday I can teach abroad. God bless you always and stay safe always. Thanks again.🥰
You come across so authentic ! I have a BA degree and I'm currently teaching on cambly (only about a month!). I'm interested in completing a TEFL course but without a practicum ! I'm only planning to teach online. What do you think of TEFL Professional Development Institute (120 hr)... I saw a link for a FREE 120 hr course with them but you have to pay to receive the actual paper Certificate !! This whole area is a bit of a maze 😳
If you are only teaching online, then you don’t typically need to invest in an expensive course. However, a quality course will give you strategies and resources to improve your teaching. I recommend The TEFL Academy Level 3 course if you want to teach online. They have an entire module on online teaching and the course is worth it in my opinion. Free courses are usually just articles you read and quizzes.
Thank you for this video! I am an American and thinking about the Maximo Nivel school in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica. I am a native English speaker with a BA and no teaching experience. it is about $1600 at this point, not including airfare and apartment rental for a 4-week course. If I round up to about $5000, just to have a buffer, it seems like a good deal for the whole experience. Living somewhere different, meeting some new people and experiencing something different, after the last couple years, may be nice.
TKT is not a course - it’s an exam. It would be most comparable to a 120 hour TEFL. So if you are looking for a high quality qualification from Cambridge you are better off doing a CELTA.
Peace Jamie, thanks for your informative videos. I'm glad you mentioned you have an MA and clearly lots of international teaching experience. I am an ESL teacher in NYC with an MA and TESOL certificate. I want to transition into teaching ESL abroad. I have about 2 yrs of teaching experience in ESL, but I have not taught internationally yet. Which level of TEFL would you recommend??
LOVE this video. I'm majoring in World Language Education and I'm not sure if getting a TEFL certificate before graduating would be enough to teach now since I haven't graduated yet. Would you recommend the level 5 course for me?
It depends on where you want to teach and if you are a native speaker or not. I recommend filling out my survey so I can get more info and email you back!
i am confused if you are american or irish, or both. great video, im thinking of teaching english online. i've been living in dublin for over 6 years now and there is a lot of people who struggle with the language in the work enviroment and i would love to just help them.

For non-native speakers the best route for teaching online is starting as a freelancer and finding clients in a specific niche. I’ll have a video coming out soon on a platform you can use to do this!

Do you think I need other certifications such as TOEIC or TOEFL? Is a cheap TEFL certification enough in this case?
TOEIC and TOEFL will prove your English level. You’ll also need at least a 120 hour TEFL certificate to teach online. If you wonky want to work online then the cheaper TEFL should be enough. I have a video coming out soon on teaching online for non-native speakers which will have some extra tips!
Me too. I am brazilian living in USA for 12 years and moving to Portugal. Taught portuguese and English in school for 15 years but I would like to take Tefl course, I just don't know which one
Thank you so much for all the details you always provide. I have one question if u don’t mind. I am wondering whether Master TEFL 220 hours has level 5 or not. And if it’s internationally accredited or not. Thank you ❤
It looks like that course is a different course than Premier TEFL. I am not familiar with it and only recommend courses where I have personally spoken to the brand to verify them 🙂
Hey, thanks for the video. I'm doing a TEFL from International Open Academy right now. It's 120 hours, all online and accredited. I have a Bachelor's degree. My main goal is to teach English online for 6 months to a year. A job like VIPKID would have been great but oh well. I want something like that. Do you think this certificate is good enough to land a job like that ?
Do you mean in-person vs online? It depends on your personal schedule and your learning style. In-person courses with teaching practice are the best for new teachers, but if you have some previous tutoring experience online courses are great too.
Hello fabulous teacher..I am a teacher of English from Iraq and I am interested in taking TESOL or CELTA in person.what country do you recommend for me?
@@English-4-Iraq All CELTA trainers have to go through training. It doesn't make a difference if they are a native speaker or not as it's a teaching training course and not an English course.
It’s an interesting concept because you pay until you complete it. The faster you complete it, the cheaper it is. I haven’t personally done it yet, but may review it for a future video 🙂
@@ESLTeacher365 yeah, and there's financial aid available as well, you'd still need to pay 50 dollars to get the certificate mailed to u, but it's cool, peer reviewed assignments and micro lessons where u have to submit recorded vids of u teaching... pretty cool
Hi i am glad that you posted such wonderful video. I am in Saudi Arabia i have 3 years of college working experience as Assistant professor and now i want becom a teacher what course suits me to get the job sister.
It depends on your nationality, if you have a degree, where you want to teach and if you want to each adults or not. CELTA is great for the EU and Middle East for teaching adults. However, no job support is given. If you want a comparable course with job search assistance, I recommend ITA: bit.ly/ITATEFL
I haven’t heard very good things about i to i. Some people report having to redo assignments over and over again. The certs I recommend are listed in this video description.
How would you suggest to check the accreditation of particular TEFL course provider? For instance, I would like to teach English in Austria or another European country, how can I be sure that particular certificate will be recognized in this country?
DELTA is above CELTA. It’s usually if you want to be a director of studies (DOS) or a teacher trainer. You need at least 1 year of teaching experience before you do DELTA.
Hi, how are you? My question is what tefl course have you taken? I mean the prices you've been explaining the whole video in order to get the certificate.
It depends on the country. I have a video about teaching abroad without a degree. Each country has different visa restrictions and even some visas or requirements of specific schools will be more demanding than others.
@@ESLTeacher365 we often use zoom to take classes, the material is Oxford discover ,wonders ,think ,reach amend so on,but anyway ,the main goal is for improving our oral English!Many thanks ,
Jaimie would love for your advice, I just subscribed to your channel. My sister is changing her career and she wants to be able to teach remotely anywhere in the world. She is considering an academy but I don't think really is worth it. Would you be able to provide a consultation with me on how can she start. My sister only has High School Degree.
Yes, CELTA is one of the most expensive courses. However, they don't offer job search assistance. So I personally recommend ITA over CELTA if you are looking for job search help.
I only recommend certificates where I have personally spoken with the company about their certificate. I haven’t spoken with TEFL International. You can find my recommendations in the description box.
Hello, this video is very informative and I really appreciate it. I personally will be graduating in 2025 with a degree in modern languages (Japanese) and I want to apply for the jet program to be an assistant teacher in Japan. I know jet does not require a certificate or experience in teaching but it is recommended. I have no prior experience teaching at all but I’ll have a bachelors soon so I’m not sure weather or not If I should go for the middle cost of certification or the more expensive one based on my situation. I would be so grateful if you could give me some insight, I am hoping to get a certification before I apply for jet in fall 2025 while also going to full time university (so I need a more flexible certification process if possible if you know of one).
Hi, thank you. This video has been very informative. wanted to ask your recommendation on the TEFL which is accepted by the Government of Canada. I am actually planning to move to Canada for work. I have a 10 years of teaching experience, so I think the MID-LEVEL TEFL would do. I am looking to do mostly online teaching. What would be your recommendation specially on the one the Canadian employer would accept. Thank you.
Do you already have a visa to work there? It will depend where you are teaching - private academies, universities, etc. In general, you’ll want a quality TEFL with teaching practice like CELTA or CertTESOL.
@@ESLTeacher365 The visa is in the process, we have applied for the Canadian PR. I was thinking to apply for online teaching. I am ready to work both in private academies, universities, and online as long as the TEFL certification allows. Can you suggest any online site to acquire the appropriate certification please?
I did not realize that people get both a TEFL and CELTA. I'm being told that having the money and time that I should get the CELTA. I'm 51, have 3 degrees and have done some teaching and substitute teaching.
CELTA is great for teaching adults, but not kids, so just keep that in mind. It also depends on where you want to teach. If you fill out my survey in the description I can better guide you.
It will depend on where you are from, your qualifications and where you are teaching (private schools, business English, public schools, etc) but in general yes, it’s required.
I have not personally tested it out yet. I only recommend courses that I have tested so I can verify if they are legit! I will put it on my list of courses to try.
Hi, USA native here with a B.A.! I’ve earned a TESOL through VIPKid and worked as an online English Teacher with them for about 3 years. Is there anything else I need to continue working in this field of online teaching?

no teaching degree, no certficate but has a teaching experience through seminars inside our church and outreach. and want to learn and teach abroad. what's good tesol/tefl level for me? thank you for answering this message. God bless

Hi Jamie, Thank you for this video!! Can you please help me? I have master's level education in the sciences and have some teaching experience with children and university students. I've debated going with ITA, but after seeing your video maybe I dont need something so exhaustive. What I'd really prefer is a program that offers other bonuses like visa and in country support (this would be my first time out of the country!). I would deeply appreciate your thoughts on this.
Hi, Jamie! I have 8 years of experience teaching or training adults in English Language Training; I have also worked as a Curriculum Developer (ELT) and Content Writer. In your knowledge or understanding, how is Trinity CertTESOL? I don't want to teach young learners at all. Is TEFL mostly about teaching young learners? Will it be worth every penny if I go for Trinity CertTESOL? Please guide if you can!
CertTESOL is the Trinity brand TEFL. I haven’t taken it but I did take CELTA and they are similar. They are very good courses for teaching adults. It depends on how you want to use it. It’s usually for new teachers or a top up for experienced teachers. There’s also more advanced courses like DELTA.
Can i teach english as a non-native speaker if i know almost no grammar? I'm pretty fluent in speech and writing, but it's all instinctual and subconscious. When someone asks me why is something the way it is in english all i can say is "it's just is". Would these courses help me bridge that gap or are they more for people who just need to brush up on their already existing understanding of the language?
You absolutely need to know grammar to teach English. If you do a TEFL course it won’t teach you the grammar, it will teach you how to teach grammar. I recommend brushing up on English grammar first. There are lots of helpful books!
I am Spanish. I hace a BA in English philology and Master's in Teaching but to teach abroad are not válido I need Tefl or Celta, I was suggested to do celta since I have already experiencia ,but is like having two master's in Teaching
CELTA is more equivalent to a bachelor’s than a master’s. DELTA is the master’s equivalent. It really depends on where you want to teach. Which countries are you interested in? For non-native speakers it’s always best to be as qualified as you can since some countries, schools and employers prefer native speakers (which is unfortunate and discrimination 😔)
Hello Jamie Just find your channel and subscribed;-) My husband is native English speaker and he teach business&economics here in Dubai.. This is his second year so he is still NQT till next year He is 50 years old I’m wondering is it possible to teach English online if you are a bit older? He has BA in Hospitality and Tourism Master in Human Resources and PGCE in Business We are planing to perhaps live in my country in the future ( Croatia) and wonder if he can make a bit of extra money online even if he will be over 50 Please be honest ha ha Regards from us from Dubai ♥️
Yes, it’s possible. However, if he teaches business and econ, it would be best to start his own freelance online teaching business to teach business English since most companies pay poorly these days.
@@ESLTeacher365 great! Thanks for your fast answer Will “ investigate” this option too Perhaps some other youTube videos on this subject:-) We have house in Croatia so no rent We don’t need big income Just a bit to cover some bills ;-) Kind regards from both of us from Dubai Take care ♥️
CELTA is the Cambridge brand of TESOL. I recommend this if you would like to teach adults or in specific countries which prefer CELTA. I have a video just on my CELTA experience that you can check out.

im indian, which one is best to get job in abroad
For non-native speakers I recommend International TEFL Academy (link in the video description) or CELTA.
How can I book your classes please? Really need , thank you so much

Jaimie would love for your advice, I just subscribed to your channel. My sister is changing her career and she wants to be able to teach remotely anywhere in the world. She is considering an academy but I don't think really is worth it. Would you be able to provide a consultation with me on how can she start. My sister only has High School Degree.
Hi! I offer teach abroad coaching. You can email me at the address in the description to book a session.
CELTA would be considered an expensive course? I'm from Argentina, Thanks!
Yes, CELTA is one of the most expensive courses. However, they don't offer job search assistance. So I personally recommend ITA over CELTA if you are looking for job search help.
Hi what do you think about TELF International? Are there any other schools that are better?
I only recommend certificates where I have personally spoken with the company about their certificate. I haven’t spoken with TEFL International. You can find my recommendations in the description box.
Did I miss something? I thought there were going to be links for some courses?
There are links in the description box 🙂
Hello, this video is very informative and I really appreciate it. I personally will be graduating in 2025 with a degree in modern languages (Japanese) and I want to apply for the jet program to be an assistant teacher in Japan. I know jet does not require a certificate or experience in teaching but it is recommended. I have no prior experience teaching at all but I’ll have a bachelors soon so I’m not sure weather or not If I should go for the middle cost of certification or the more expensive one based on my situation. I would be so grateful if you could give me some insight, I am hoping to get a certification before I apply for jet in fall 2025 while also going to full time university (so I need a more flexible certification process if possible if you know of one).
I recommend filling out my survey or sending me an email (linked in the video description) so I can personally guide you 🙂
Hi, thank you. This video has been very informative.
wanted to ask your recommendation on the TEFL which is accepted by the Government of Canada.
I am actually planning to move to Canada for work. I have a 10 years of teaching experience, so I think the MID-LEVEL TEFL would do. I am looking to do mostly online teaching. What would be your recommendation specially on the one the Canadian employer would accept. Thank you.
Do you already have a visa to work there? It will depend where you are teaching - private academies, universities, etc. In general, you’ll want a quality TEFL with teaching practice like CELTA or CertTESOL.
@@ESLTeacher365 The visa is in the process, we have applied for the Canadian PR. I was thinking to apply for online teaching. I am ready to work both in private academies, universities, and online as long as the TEFL certification allows.
Can you suggest any online site to acquire the appropriate certification please?
@@joshADV That's great that you have a visa! I have some online TEFLs linked in the description box that you can check out.
I did not realize that people get both a TEFL and CELTA. I'm being told that having the money and time that I should get the CELTA. I'm 51, have 3 degrees and have done some teaching and substitute teaching.
CELTA is great for teaching adults, but not kids, so just keep that in mind. It also depends on where you want to teach. If you fill out my survey in the description I can better guide you.
I need a Personal Tefl course. Jamie I'm from Ghana can you help
For non-native speakers I recommend a level 5 course with teaching practice.
hi there! do you think that primeir tefl best than the institute of ireland?
I’m not familiar with the Institute of Ireland. I only recommend certificates where I have personally taken the course or spoken with the company.
@@ESLTeacher365 Thanks a lot for the prompt reply. i enrolled in primer TEFL where you recommended.
Thanks a lot for the video. It was beneficial.
@@iltltutorial3164 Let me know how the course goes for you :)
Is it a must to take it for traveling abroad to any arab countries ???
It will depend on where you are from, your qualifications and where you are teaching (private schools, business English, public schools, etc) but in general yes, it’s required.
World TESOL ACADEMY IS OFFERING TESOL IN 34 DOLLARS.NEED SUGGESTIONS...Should I opt for it?
If you want to teach online ONLY, it's ok. If you want to teach abroad, absolutely not.
Great video! Thank you! Will send you email.
Do you recommend TEFL Institute of Ireland? Is their 120 hour TEFL Certificate course good?
I have not personally tested it out yet. I only recommend courses that I have tested so I can verify if they are legit! I will put it on my list of courses to try.
Hi, I didn’t find the video about your CELTA pros and cons..didn’t you regret about doing it?
Try searching CELTA and ESL Teacher 365. 🙂
Can u pls tell which certificate want to get jobs in gulfs or foreign countries as English Teacher?
Check out the description box of this video for certs I recommend. Higher paying countries in the Middle East often prefer CELTA.
Where can I enroll??
You can enroll though the link in the description.
Hello.
If I want to work as an English teacher as second language in Ireland should I go for Celta?
You’ll need a degree and CELTA. The issue will be getting a visa to work there.
@@ESLTeacher365 I have no degree. I'm italian and Republica of Ireland Is in UE so I don't Need visa
@@gennaroscafuto9925 you'll need a degree to teach there.
@@ESLTeacher365 even for private school and foreign students?
@@gennaroscafuto9925 To teach in English language schools a degree is required.
Hi, USA native here with a B.A.! I’ve earned a TESOL through VIPKid and worked as an online English Teacher with them for about 3 years. Is there anything else I need to continue working in this field of online teaching?
You can always get a level 5 TEFL course or do add-on courses like Business English. You can check out the description box for courses I recommend. Are you considering working for Outschool or freelancing?
no teaching degree, no certficate but has a teaching experience through seminars inside our church and outreach. and want to learn and teach abroad. what's good tesol/tefl level for me? thank you for answering this message. God bless
It depends on if you have a bachelor’s degree, your budget for the course, your nationality and where you want to teach. Please fill out my survey and I will email you back with some recommendations!
Is Level 5 required when teaching online? Or is it the same as Level 3 or advanced?
Most companies will only require a level 3 (120 hour) certificate.
Hi Jamie,
Thank you for this video!! Can you please help me? I have master's level education in the sciences and have some teaching experience with children and university students. I've debated going with ITA, but after seeing your video maybe I dont need something so exhaustive. What I'd really prefer is a program that offers other bonuses like visa and in country support (this would be my first time out of the country!). I would deeply appreciate your thoughts on this.
Please fill out my survey in the description so I can better guide you 🙂
Hi, Jamie!
I have 8 years of experience teaching or training adults in English Language Training; I have also worked as a Curriculum Developer (ELT) and Content Writer.
In your knowledge or understanding, how is Trinity CertTESOL? I don't want to teach young learners at all. Is TEFL mostly about teaching young learners?
Will it be worth every penny if I go for Trinity CertTESOL?
Please guide if you can!
CertTESOL is the Trinity brand TEFL. I haven’t taken it but I did take CELTA and they are similar. They are very good courses for teaching adults. It depends on how you want to use it. It’s usually for new teachers or a top up for experienced teachers. There’s also more advanced courses like DELTA.
Many thanks for answering! Yes, I am aware of DELTA and DipTESOL as well.
Got my TEFL now
Which brand did you go with?
@@ESLTeacher365 TEFL UK
what is a good school to attend?
This depends on where you want to teach, if you are a native speaker, if you have a degree and how much experience you have.
Can i teach english as a non-native speaker if i know almost no grammar? I'm pretty fluent in speech and writing, but it's all instinctual and subconscious. When someone asks me why is something the way it is in english all i can say is "it's just is". Would these courses help me bridge that gap or are they more for people who just need to brush up on their already existing understanding of the language?
You absolutely need to know grammar to teach English. If you do a TEFL course it won’t teach you the grammar, it will teach you how to teach grammar. I recommend brushing up on English grammar first. There are lots of helpful books!
Hi how are you am from India and I have done my masters in computer application how i can get job in abroad
Do you want to teach ESL or another subject?
@ESLTeacher365 ESL means
@ESLTeacher365 I have done my studies in computer application
@@sukhadhandoi1492 A TEFL certificate will certify you to teach English as a Second Language, not computer science.
@@sukhadhandoi1492 if you want to teach this subject, you’ll need to get a teaching license in it.
Which one should I take? I am still unsure. I have never worked as a teacher before, and this going to be my first experience.
International TEFL Academy or CELTA 🙂
I am Spanish. I hace a BA in English philology and Master's in Teaching but to teach abroad are not válido I need Tefl or Celta, I was suggested to do celta since I have already experiencia ,but is like having two master's in Teaching
CELTA is more equivalent to a bachelor’s than a master’s. DELTA is the master’s equivalent. It really depends on where you want to teach. Which countries are you interested in? For non-native speakers it’s always best to be as qualified as you can since some countries, schools and employers prefer native speakers (which is unfortunate and discrimination 😔)
@@ESLTeacher365 I was Teaching in malta with My master's degree but My boss recommended me celta,but is too expensive
Hello Jamie
Just find your channel and subscribed;-)
My husband is native English speaker and he teach business&economics here in Dubai.. This is his second year so he is still NQT till next year
He is 50 years old
I’m wondering is it possible to teach English online if you are a bit older?
He has BA in Hospitality and Tourism
Master in Human Resources and PGCE in Business
We are planing to perhaps live in my country in the future ( Croatia) and wonder if he can make a bit of extra money online even if he will be over 50
Please be honest ha ha
Regards from us from Dubai ♥️
Yes, it’s possible. However, if he teaches business and econ, it would be best to start his own freelance online teaching business to teach business English since most companies pay poorly these days.
@@ESLTeacher365 great!
Thanks for your fast answer
Will “ investigate” this option too
Perhaps some other youTube videos on this subject:-)
We have house in Croatia so no rent
We don’t need big income
Just a bit to cover some bills ;-)
Kind regards from both of us from Dubai
Take care ♥️
Yes 🙂
I am still a little confused
Do you like CELTA or TESOL better?
Which one would you suggest I get (No Bachelor Degree) but with teaching experience.
CELTA is the Cambridge brand of TESOL. I recommend this if you would like to teach adults or in specific countries which prefer CELTA. I have a video just on my CELTA experience that you can check out.
@@ESLTeacher365
Thank you so much...
How do I find your video?
You can check my Teach Abroad Playlist or uploads playlist to find the CELTA video
@@ESLTeacher365
Thank you for all your help.

Merry Christmas
Happy New Year
Last year I enrolled for TEFL certificate course but after paying the fee realized that I was scammed.
Which course did you do?

Nice
What level is 150 hours TESOL course from Arizona State University.
