Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a university degree to find work? In Argentina and most of Latin America, a Bachelor's degree is preferred but not essential. Your Level 5 TEFL certificate is the primary qualification employers look for.

What is the "5-week" timeline? The core TEFL certification takes 4 weeks. The 5th week is dedicated to your Spanish immersion. You can choose to take the Spanish classes either before the TEFL training begins or after it concludes.

Is the diploma valid for online English teaching? Yes. Our certification prepares you for both in-person and online teaching, which is a rapidly growing market for TEFL graduates.
