There are no educational requirements to become TEFL certified. You can earn your certification without an education degree or teaching experience.

Additionally, most TEFL certification courses require that you have at least a high school diploma and proficient English skills. The international standards for professional-level TEFL certification include at least 100 hours of coursework, between 6 to 20 hours of practice teaching in a classroom, and an accredited curriculum from a recognized organization. No matter which organization you choose to obtain your certificate, you will need to spend time on your TEFL coursework and eventually take an exam that tests your knowledge on various topics like lesson planning and complex grammar concepts.

There are many benefits of enrolling in a Seattle TEFL certification course.

All sessions by Varsity Tutors are led by highly experienced instructors who are familiar with many of the concepts you will be expected to know as you work through your TEFL coursework. He or she can provide in-depth discussions on various topics like understanding the main components of language learning, simplifying complex grammar for language learners, and identifying different learning styles. This helps to deepen your understanding of these topics. Another benefit is that other TEFL candidates will also be attending and can even provide their own insights during class discussions. Reviewing alongside your peers with the guidance of an experienced instructor provides an engaging way to reinforce and review material. If you need additional help to prove your understanding of any concepts covered, you can always request additional time with your instructor outside of class.
