I know that I need a tefl certificate to do so. (im aware that if I had a Celta or tesol that would be way better, but those are out of my budget). Anyways I have landed on the Maximo nivel tefl course as that provides practicum, live teaching, is 120 hours long, and comparatively cheap (

Hi Alex, YES ABSOLUTELY! Our TEFL Certification is recognized all over the world. We have graduates currently teaching in all continents. Maximo Nivel is not just an award-winning TEFL provider. We are an English as a Second Language (ESL) institute with 20+ years experience (since 2003). We teach English to more than 3,200 learners every month. As an ESL institute, we understand the unique needs of second language learners and integrate this knowledge into the TEFL Certification program. TEFL Program participants learn how to teach in a real ESL school! This is an important difference when compared to all other TEFL programs. At Maximo Nivel, the TEFL Certification Program is tailored to meet the requirements of ESL institutes around the world. We know what ESL institutes look for when hiring teachers and we incorporate this knowledge and experience into all our TEFL courses. When you are TEFL certified at Maximo Nivel, you are better equipped to deliver quality teaching and to be fully employed at the end of your TEFL course. If you have any questions feel free to reach out to our Admission Team using the form in maximonivel.com/contact-us/ :)

Hi. I completed the 150-hour International Diploma in English Language Teaching (IDELT) earlier this year, in addition to the Teaching English Online bundle and Grammar Advisor. The IDELT was an intense program, tons of reading and writing, but I learned a lot, despite already having over 25 years of English teaching experience. I chose the program because it was at graduate level and accredited, which was important to me for credit recognition abroad. I was thoroughly impressed with the course and the high level of service. All feedback was prompt and helpful. I can't recommend Bridge highly enough. Their prices are fair and you can also save money by purchasing courses during one of their frequent sales and by bundling.

Why are you in such a hurry. After 35 years of teaching I notice that teachers want to move on as fast as possible. Those are the ones who always forget about wait time too. Yes, students need to "talk" and be corrected, but not too long. Oh, anyone working online seem to have to go as quickly as they can. I taught 15 years as a High School teacher teaching Social Studies, Then I took a TEFL course - Anyway It's been a wonderful career. My last 20 years I taught overseas in the Middle East. 12 of those years were teaching in a University in Saudi Arabia and I loved it.

I sent them a screenshot of my purchase with all my info and it's now been a week since I sent that and still not received a response.
