If you want to meet the criteria laid out for most online or overseas TEFL jobs, then you will need to complete a standard 120-hour TEFL certification course as a minimum. Anyone who dreams of earning a higher salary or applying for management level positions will typically need an advanced qualification such as diploma. However, teachers who want to get to the very top of the EFL tree will probably need to think about completing a Bachelor's Degree in TESOL.
Does ITTT offer a Bachelor's Degree?
ITTT does not operate its own degree course, but we are able to recommend a good option.

As you might expect from an online based course, the B.ED TESOL is run via an automated online portal known as the Learning Management System (LMS). The LMS portal can be accessed via any device you happen to have to hand, whether it’s a PC, laptop, tablet, or smartphone. You can access all the course materials and assignments through the LMS, as well as communicate with other course members in order to swap ideas and compare notes. Your tutor’s feedback on assignments and other work can also be found through the LMS portal. As it is a flexible online course there are no fixed timetables to worry about or set classes to attend. Simply study when and for however long you find comfortable throughout the course and you should have little trouble reaching a successful conclusion.
How much does the B.Ed TESOL cost?
This is a very affordable degree option as there are no admission or tuition fees to worry about. Throughout the course you will need to pay €90 for each assessment you complete, which equates to around €3,300 for the whole course. There is also a graduation fee of €300.
