The important thing to keep in mind is that although there is technically a distinction between these two terms, they are widely used interchangeably, so either a TEFL or TESOL certificate will meet certification requirements for jobs teaching English. One exception to this is in reference to university-level studies. For example, if you decided to pursue a degree in teaching English, you’d earn a bachelor’s or master’s degree in TESOL, not TEFL.
TESOL certification, just like its equivalent, TEFL certification, is what you need if you plan to become an EFL or ESL instructor either in a traditional classroom or online. You’ll see this requirement listed in TEFL job postings for online teaching companies, English language schools, and other institutes around the world that hire English teachers. Usually, a TEFL/ TESOL certificate of 120 hours is the minimum standard to qualify for these types of jobs.

You can also take in-person TESOL courses in a traditional classroom setting, either locally or in the country where you plan to teach. These courses are typically four weeks long and often follow an intensive, full-time schedule. In-person TESOL courses are, however, less common nowadays, as most people choose to get certified online, especially since COVID-19 changed the way TESOL courses are delivered, moving them to the virtual space. There’s essentially no difference in certification quality with in-person vs. online TESOL courses.
The cost of TEFL/TESOL certification courses varies depending on some different factors, such as whether you take an online or in-person course, the number of hours of certification, whether the course includes tutor interaction, and the level of the course. You can expect to pay about $200 USD for very minimal online TESOL certification (of about 40 hours) and closer to $400-500 USD for online certification of 100 hours or more. If you opt for university-level online training or a classroom-based TESOL course, the tuition can be substantially higher – usually between $1,000 to $2,500 USD.
Tefl Certificate OnlineIt usually takes between one to three months to complete a self-paced online TESOL course. This depends on the number of hours the course consists of (they can be anywhere from 40 to more than 150 hours) and how much time you can dedicate to working on your course each week. Most people choose to take a TEFL/TESOL course of 120 hours in order to qualify for the most teaching jobs, and this type would take about six weeks to complete, working on it part-time.
