Are you dreaming of trading your office cubicle for a classroom in Tokyo, or perhaps the flexibility of teaching English from your laptop while traveling the world?
Good news. Looks like you're planning ahead, and already making it happen.
Our 150-Hour Online TEFL Course is currently available for an exclusive advance purchase price, and because we’ve received a few questions about the timeline, we want to break down exactly what "Advance Purchase" means for your teaching career.
Here is a deep dive into the dates, the curriculum, and how to pace your journey to graduation.
When Can I Graduate from the 150-Hour TEFL Course?
The most important detail to note right now is the timeline. Because this is an advance purchase of our latest curriculum, the earliest possible completion (graduation) date for the 150-hour TEFL course is April 2026.
Why the wait? Our 150-hour course is comprehensive. While the 100-hour core and some specializations are ready for you to dive into immediately, the final modules that round out the 150 hours are being released on a rolling schedule:

It's the perfect option for current students finishing a degree in 2026 or planners who intend to move abroad in the summer or fall of 2026. You save $600 by locking in the rate before the course fully launches at its regular price.

What Happens After Graduation?
