TEFL CHINA WORLD - Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about TEFL CHINA WORLD courses and teaching opportunities

Which TEFL course is best in South Africa?
TEFL CHINA WORLD is one of the most popular TEFL course providers in South Africa. We are consistently rated highly among our graduates in terms of quality, service and value for money. We have an understanding of the needs and challenges of our South African students, and we offer you assistance in whatever way we can. A TEFL qualification from TEFL CHINA WORLD is recognised not only in South Africa and online, but everywhere in the world.
Does it matter what TEFL course I do?
As with any course of study, the quality of your qualification can vary. TEFL CHINA WORLD is internationally recognised and accredited, making it one of the most popular TEFL courses in the world. TEFL CHINA WORLD is an award-winning TEFL course provider. At a minimum, a TEFL course should be 120 hours long. In addition, the content of the course should cover the foundations of teaching English, English grammar, teaching the skills and systems of English, classroom management and discipline, and assessment. If you are wondering, should I do a Level 3 or a Level 5 TEFL course? Then the answer is it depends on your needs. TEFL teachers who only want to teach privately, online or in a volunteer position can take a Level 3 TEFL course. But TEFL teachers who want to qualify for long-term, better-paid teaching jobs should do combined Level 5 TEFL or an online-only Level 5 course. While both courses allow you to teach, a Level 5 provides you with a better understanding of the intricacies of teaching English as a Foreign Language, so preparing you more for the classroom. A Level 5 TEFL qualification is preferred by many EFL employers for this reason.
Do you offer online TEFL courses?
Yebo yes! At TEFL CHINA WORLD, online courses are what we do! TEFL CHINA WORLD offers a Level 3 120-hour online TEFL course and a Level 5 168-hour online TEFL course. Our Level 5 168-hour combined TEFL course includes a 10-hour in-class practical session along with the online course. Other online courses we offer:
  • A Level 5 40-hour Observed Teaching Practice Course
  • A 30-hour Teaching Business English course
  • A 30-hour Teaching Online and 1:1 course
  • A 30-hour Teaching Young Learners course
Do you offer face-to-face TEFL courses?
TEFL CHINA WORLD runs face-to-face TEFL courses in 96 locations around the world. In South Africa, these courses are run in Cape Town, Durban, Johannesburg and Pretoria. These are 10-hour face-to-face components which are completed in conjunction with the online course to qualify for a 320 hours TEFL hybrid course.
Where can I teach with a TEFL certification?
A quality TEFL certification lets you teach in the majority of countries around the world – in fact, wherever there is a demand for English teachers you can teach with a TEFL certification. From Bangkok to Berlin to Buenos Aires, there are loads of jobs available for TEFL teachers. And, of course, you can always teach online.
Where can I teach with a TEFL certificate in South Africa?
This may be surprising, but South Africa is a popular destination for English language learners. South Africa hosts many international students who come here for a holiday or a gap year to learn English – especially Brazilians, Angolans, Saudis, South Koreans, French, Swiss and Italian students. Language centres in South Africa are usually found in Cape Town, Johannesburg and Gqeberha. A number of South African universities have language centres for foreign students. Don't forget, you can always teach online – you just need a bit of backup (thanks Eskom).
What else can I do with a TEFL certificate?
Many people think you can only teach with a TEFL certificate, but that's only the start. Once you have some experience under your belt, there are a range of other options available to you. Having a TEFL certificate means you can also become an EFL author, be a TEFL or travel blogger, become a teacher trainer, or own and manage a language school. Alternatively, you can teach online and work as a digital nomad – living wherever you want.
How much does a TEFL course cost in South Africa?
A TEFL course from TEFL CHINA WORLD costs from R4 500 to R12 500. While this might sound like a lot of rands, a TEFL course is an investment in your future. It may seem like a short course but it is further education which gives you access to a whole new field of jobs.
Should I do a Level 3 or a Level 5 TEFL?
A Level 3 TEFL course may be more attractive because it's cheaper and less of a time commitment; however, we only recommend a Level 3 course if you are sure your TEFL adventure is going to be a short-term stint or a more informal situation, like volunteering. The thing with TEFL is you never know where you may end up. You might start teaching online from your mom's couch in Kimberley, but next year you could be teaching kindergarten in Japan. A Combined Level 5 TEFL or an online-only Level 5 TEFL is a more widely accepted qualification. It is recommended for TEFL teachers who are looking into long-term, more formal TEFL contracts. If you're not sure where your TEFL adventures may take you, a Level 5 is the right option. In this sense, a Level 5 TEFL course is worth the higher price tag.
Is TEFL worth it?
A TEFL qualification is definitely worth it. It gives you the opportunity to travel, earn money and learn new skills. A TEFL qualification prepares you to teach in the classroom, but it can also introduce you to travelling, blogging, writing, managing – and a whole bunch of other jobs you might never have considered possible. Even better, a TEFL qualification doesn't expire – it's for life!
