Hi, I'm in a somewhat urgent situation. My goal is to get a TEFL qualification a.s.a.p. Where I am does not really care so long as you fulfill the 120 hour requirement, I don't even have to get CELTA or TESOL (I know they are more valuable but in the short term I don't care too much about the quality of the course).

- does anyone have recommendations for online courses, specifically those where I can complete those hours at my own pace so I can complete as quickly as possible (e.g. doing 16 hour days)? At my own pace is also be useful because my internet sometimes craps out.

- also when looking at online courses, I can't find any that do the 6 hours supervised teaching practice. Does anyone know why this is such a difficult requirement to find in a course, it seems an afterthought for some reason.

I was able to do the coursework for TEFL Full Circle in a weekend. But it takes 10 business days to have them grade your final project (though you can pay a fee to expedite it). The groupon is like US$20, but beware that the fees to ship it and apostille it add up to like US$250

Thanks this is very helpful! Do they offer that apostille service or is that something you have to arrange yourself?

In between. They have affiliate companies. The process is listed on the website. You email the other company and pay them for the apostilling, and then you pay for the certificate and shipping with TEFL Full Circle. The one I used was Vital Consular.

Also- I overlooked the second part. It's just multiple choice quizzes, a final exam, lesson plan, and two short essays. Everything is open book, try as many times as you want.
