The standard, international qualification required is a TEFL certificate or TESOL certificate. With this qualification you are able to put your English skills to good use and to find employment throughout the world.

TEFL.sk TEFL certificate courses provide you with all the necessary skills and training to be an effective teacher and to find a suitable teaching position.

What is TEFL/TESOL?

The above question is probably the one we find ourselves answering the most. The use of these acronyms (amongst others) can be rather confusing, especially as they are frequently used interchangeably. Below is a list of definitions which, hopefully, should clarify their meanings:

TEFL - Teaching English as a Foreign Language.
This term is predominantly used when English is being taught in a country where it isn't the native language (for example teaching English to Spanish people in Spain).

TESOL - Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages.
This term theoretically encompasses both of the above.

ELT - English Language Teaching.
This term is mainly used by institutions in the U.K.

Whilst there are slight differences in theory, these terms are often used interchangeably. It should not make any real difference to your future career and job prospects whether you receive a TEFL certificate or a TESOL certificate.
