The Professional Tier for Career-Minded Teachers

A 120-hour TEFL certification helps you get started. The 150-hour TEFL helps you move forward with direction.

Instead of entering the job market with a general qualification, you build a more targeted credential that reflects the type of teaching you want to do.

You’re not just getting certified. You’re preparing for the roles you actually want.

  • Show targeted training in key teaching areas
  • Demonstrate readiness for specific student groups
  • Apply for roles that match your strengths
  • Stand out in a competitive job market

This is especially valuable for roles involving young learners, international schools, or professional learners.
