TEFL Course Payment Plan FAQs

 

Can I pay for my TEFL course in installments?

Yes! You can pay for your 11-Week Online TEFL Course in three payments, payable over 60 days. Your final payment must be paid no later than 30 days after the start of the course. However, know that you will receive a $50 discount by paying in full upfront.

Is there interest or additional fees if I use a payment plan?

There is no interest or hidden fees involved in taking advantage of the International TEFL Academy payment plan.

What is the process and timeline for using a payment plan?

We always recommend connecting with an Admissions Advisor before purchase so you are as well-informed as possible on topics like hiring procedures and timelines, average salary and living costs in different locations, and much more. All of our advisors have spent time living, traveling and teaching abroad.

Once you’re ready, you can select "Deposit" in the drop-down menu in your shopping cart. A deposit of 35% of the tuition is required at the time of enrollment, with the option to pay the rest of the balance in full or split the balance into two additional payments of 35% and 30% due at 30 and 60 days, respectively, from the initial payment. All applicable fees for the course must be paid in full no later than 30 days after the start of the TEFL course. 

Can I still use a payment plan if I am taking advantage of sale pricing?

Absolutely - a 35% of tuition cost deposit will still be required, and the remaining balance will incorporate discount pricing and be split into the two payments of 35% and 30% respectively.

Can payment plans be used if I’m also purchasing specialty courses?

Yes. Enrolling in your 11-Week Online TEFL Class and TEFL Specialty Courses together is a smart move - not only do you save $75+ by bundling them, but you’re also able to finance them together. Your admissions advisor can add an additional, fourth payment option if you’re purchasing these together.

My TEFL course does not start for several months. Is there any flexibility with payment dates?

Your Admissions Advisor can work with you to set up a payment plan that fits best with your course schedule - and your life. Reach out to them to discuss a customized payment plan, tailored to your situation. You'll just need to have paid in full 30 days after your course starts. 

If your plans change, the sooner you let us know the better.

ITA absolutely worth it

I took a previous online TEFL/TESOL certification course that was significantly cheaper than ITA. The course content was great but the engagement with peers, instructors, and advisors was zero. This other course also offered "job guidance" so when I finished the course and contacted them they sent me a list of broken links to online teaching websites. I found a blog by ITA that talked about finding a legitimate TEFL/TESOL course and why they shouldn't cost less than a certain amount of money. When my budget eventually allowed it I decided to go to do a second certification with ITA so I could teach business English. Every penny was worth it! The advisors are helpful, instructors are fantastic and the community with your peers (even online) is amazing.
