What International TEFL and TESOL Ltd does

International TEFL and TESOL Ltd is a UK-incorporated online education provider that sells accredited TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) and TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) certification courses to aspiring and current English teachers worldwide. The product line spans six course tiers from a Level 2 refresher through the Level 5 Pro Plus flagship (200 hours including 20 hours of teaching practice), priced between $89 and $199, plus add-on certificates for Business English, Teaching English to Young Learners (TEYL), grammar teaching materials, and an "Online English Teaching Business" course. The underlying delivery platform is an online learning management system that combines video content, text modules, quizzes, and personal tutor support with lifetime access and no completion deadline; the company is accredited by the International TEFL/TESOL Accreditation Council and brands itself as a government-recognized awarding body.

The business runs a direct-to-consumer go-to-market through its own website (internationaltefltesol.com) with instant self-serve enrollment, PayPal and major card support, and multi-currency checkout across more than 40 country currencies. Revenue comes primarily from one-time course purchases, supplemented by certificate apostille and legalization services ($40-$200) for graduates targeting markets such as China and Vietnam, ESL teaching materials, and bundled add-on certificates. A differentiated component is the graduate-only job placement service, which connects alumni with 50+ partner platforms (including VIPKID, Cambly, Italki, DaDa, Magic Ears, GoGoKid, Preply, and EF) for teaching roles across Asia, Europe, the Middle East, South America, and online. The company operates affiliate offices in the United States (New York) and the Philippines (Cebu City) in addition to its Bexhill-on-Sea headquarters and cites affiliations in 42+ countries.
