1. What is TEFL and why do I need it?

TEFL stands for Teaching English as a Foreign Language. A TEFL certification is the industry standard that allows you to teach English abroad or online. Most reputable schools and language companies require it. Beyond just a certificate, quality TEFL training equips you with real teaching skills, classroom confidence, and global job opportunities.

2. What’s the difference between your Online and Onsite TEFL courses?

• Onsite TEFL (France) – An immersive, 4-week program in Montpellier, France. You’ll receive face-to-face training, peer teaching practice, and direct feedback from experienced trainers. This is the most intensive, hands-on way to become certified.

• Virtual TEFL (Online) – A live, interactive online program designed to mirror our onsite training. You’ll still get observed teaching practice with real learners, group workshops, and one-on-one support without having to travel.

Both courses are internationally recognized, include job assistance, and are led by The Language House TEFL’s expert trainers.

3. What is the Digital Nomad TEFL Bundle?

The Digital Nomad TEFL Bundle is designed for people who want teaching and freedom. It combines:

• Our 4-Week Virtual TEFL Certification

• Specialized 1-Week training in Teaching Business English

• 1-Week of Teaching English Online

With this bundle, you’re not just certified, you’re prepared to thrive in the growing remote work economy, whether you’re teaching from a café in Lisbon or a co-working hub in Bali.

4. Who should take the Teaching Business English course?

Teaching Business English is one of the highest-paid niches in ESL. This course is perfect if you want to:

• Work with professionals and companies worldwide

  It’s included in the Digital Nomad TEFL Bundle but can also be taken as a stand-alone module.

5. Do I need a degree or teaching experience to take the course?

No degree or prior teaching experience is required! Our courses are designed for complete beginners. If you are a fluent English speaker, we’ll train you in everything you need to succeed—from lesson planning to classroom management to teaching online.

6. How long does it take to get certified?
