For most online or in-person TESOL courses, the only requirement to sign up is to have an English language level sufficient to succeed in the course. For non-native English speakers, the recommended level for certification usually ranges from a B1 to C2 CEFR level (CEFR is the Common European Framework of Reference, an internationally used standard for describing language ability level).
Each TESOL/TEFL provider will have its own guidelines regarding the required English level, which can vary somewhat depending on the academic rigor of the course. For most of Bridge’s professional certification courses, you’ll need to have a B1 CEFR level. You can find out details about certification prerequisites for additional courses by reading these TEFL/TESOL FAQs.
Tefl Certification OnlineFor the most part, there are no requirements for TEFL/TESOL certification beyond English language proficiency. You don’t need to have a college degree, nor do you need any technical expertise to take an online certification. That being said, there are a few TEFL/TESOL programs that are more advanced, or even university level (offering college credit), that may, therefore, have additional requirements beyond language level, such as a minimum education (a high school or university diploma).
