Yes.
The 120-hour TEFL certificate is your official qualification to teach English online — it’s required by most platforms.
The Online Teaching Guide gives you the strategies, templates, scripts, and application support you need to get hired faster, especially if you’re new and don’t know where to start.

It’s recommended to start with the TEFL certificate, as most online platforms won’t accept your application without it.
Once you’ve enrolled or completed it, you can use the 30-day access to the Online Teaching Guide to begin applying strategically.

The TEFL course is 120 hours long, but it’s self-paced.
Most learners complete it in 1 to 4 weeks, depending on how much time they can commit.

Absolutely!
Both the TEFL course and the Online Teaching Guide are designed for flexibility.
You can work through them in the evenings, over weekends, or during your free time.
Note: The Online Teaching Guide gives you 30 days of access, so it’s important to plan your time wisely — each platform listed can take a minimum of 2 days to apply to properly.

Earnings depend on the platform you work with, your availability, and your performance.
Because the listed platforms have different pay structures, I can’t give you an exact figure — but some South Africans earn part-time side income, while others teach full-time and earn consistently in USD.

Yes — but your effort matters.
The guide is based on proven strategies that have helped many South Africans successfully get hired.
If you follow the steps, submit quality applications, and stay consistent, your results will follow. Your input is key to success.

No, it’s not required.
As long as you complete the TEFL certification, you can teach English online. What matters is your ability to apply what you’ve learned and communicate clearly — not your school-leaving certificate.
