This was a great experience

This was a great experience, the lessons are so interesting and very insightful. I thought I was ready to handle an ESL class. But then, once I began my lessons with Study TEFL, I realized how much I was missing. Now I'm confident and ready to work knowing that I'm more than prepared, thanks to Study TEFL.

I spent time looking for a quality and affordable course, and I can say with all honesty, this course is a very big bargain for me. Thanks for offering such high quality course content at the cheapest affordable price. To prospective clients, if you are not ready to spend time and work hard, this course is not for you.

Great course with friendly staff

Pros: friendly and professional staff willing to answer questions (even one kind of obvious one that I realised I should'veknown the answer to!); lots of content to explain everything so beginners like me could feel confident; review activities and quizzes kept the info fresh in my mind; the classroom videos gave me a window into how teaching is (it's a bit different from what I had in my mind, but not in a bad way)

Cons: The pdf text took a couple of seconds to load; a few of the AI videos have a bit of ghosting; I spotted a few spelling/grammar mistakes (they did say they often change material and it leads to mistakes, but still)

On the whole, this was/is a great course and has left me feeling prepared for applying for jobs here.

This is the best and cheapest TEFL course in the world

This is the cheapest TEFL course in the world at the time of writing. Does it use AI? Yes, it does. Does it hinder learning? No. EVERY assignment comes with a PDF file that describes the lesson topic in detail. The people at this company don't make enough money to hire speakers, I think. If your goal is to get a quick and cheap TEFL certificate, these guys are definitely the ones for you. It's an undeniable fact that live training is better. But for people from countries where live training is not possible (like Russia), this is the best option right now. Special thanks for the quizzes and the opportunity to test yourself before the test at the end of the module.

Being Taught by AI 🤡

The instructional videos are not narrated by real humans but AI 🤡🤡🤡 these people do not respect their students/customers at all. Don't waste your valuable money on here for such disrespect and humiliation.

Hi Fatih,

Well done with completing your TEFL course, and thank you for your feedback. We can see why AI narration may feel impersonal, and we're sorry it didn't meet your expectations. We in no way intend to humiliate our students: our aim is to provide affordable but high-quality TEFL training.

I’ll try to explain our reasoning. AI voiceovers with subtitles were never intended to be our main teaching focus but rather a supplement for our detailed text lessons.

Our text content and scenario-based tasks are all created by experienced, qualified teachers. We also provide human tutor support whenever our students need help - our team typically responds within 1-2 hours. We also regularly update our content and provide multiple videos of real classroom teaching. These qualities are where our value lies.

AI video narration was only ever meant for students who prefer a form of audio with access to moving subtitles (not to be our main content). Our free lessons feature everything in the course units (AI narration included); we always invite prospective students to look at these to check if their individual learning needs match our teaching style.

Professional videos are extremely expensive to make, and courses under a couple of hundred dollars aren’t able to offer these. But, with that said, our staff are slowly going through the process of adding real human audio for every spoken word of text content (and this will soon be available to our students).

Your one-star review has definitely taken us by surprise - students have sometimes voiced dislike of our AI narration before, but they have always praised our other content. It's a paradox, but it seems that if we had no audio option at all then it may be received better. Given your strong feelings, we're unsure of why you made the decision to complete the course within a few weeks rather than ask for a refund, which would have been granted (we follow UK and EU digital law).

We’re sorry once again that we let you down. We’ll expedite our human audio to avoid offending our future students: as teachers, we only ever want to teach well and provide quality learning that is accessible to all.

We wish you all the best.

I did the 120 hour course and thought it was amazing value. The content was clear and there were videos covering every bit of text in the units - this was important to me. Staff sent my certs through as soon as I passed the final and were quick to help me get my apostille sorted out even once I was done with the course. Amazing service!

Very Informative and Up to date content for anyone who wishes to have a TEFL Certificate!

was looking for a legitimate TEFL course online because teaching English is one of my plans as a source of income when moving abroad. After doing my research, I signed up for StudyTEFL, and I definitely do not regret it. The course is well thought out and clearly designed to help learners understand how to teach English as a second language. The quizzes are varied and not repetitive, and I genuinely feel they are made to ensure that students truly understand each module and can apply what they learn to real teaching situations.

Definitely Worth It!!

I was skeptical at first because the price was so low, so I did a lot of research before taking the course myself. I must say, it turned out to be a fantastic and efficient learning experience. I’ve sponsored several TEFL certificates for employees and business partners, so I’m quite familiar with the more expensive or “premium” options. StudyTEFL’s course is up to date, informative, and convenient. The support staff are kind and provide warm, prompt feedback — even on a Saturday.
Thanks, Dom and Mark!

I recently completed the 120-hour TEFL course, and I absolutely loved it! The units were smooth and easy to follow, and the videos made learning really enjoyable. The reading materials were detailed and full of great examples, which helped me understand everything better. It took me about two months to finish, and even the tests were fun to do. Overall, it was a great experience and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone interested in teaching English abroad or online!

Fantastic course

Fantastic course. Far more in-depth than the previous TEFL course I undertook by another company. The content is very in-depth and all sections have a downloadable PDF version for you to keep and go back to time and again. The support was great - the response time was very quick for any queries I had and the whole team were very supportive and knowledgeable. Despite the Certificate not being listed as an accepted Certificate on platforms such as Preply, it is accepted when you upload it - so don't let that put you off! I highly recommend this course!!
