Expanish TEFL Blog

TEFL courses are offered to both native and non-native English speakers. Native English speakers do not need to have any English exams to take a TEFL course. Non-native English speakers do.

But don’t worry, if you are a non-native English speaker but have the know-how and confidence to teach English to others, you should have no problem completing and meeting the English requirements and then becoming a TEFL teacher! 

How to get certified to Teach English as a non-native English speaker

1. TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language): This can be taken online with companies like this, or at specific institutes in your area. Whichever you choose, it will certify to take a TEFL course. 
2. IELTS (International English Language Testing System) Level 6: This test can be taken at more than 6000 institutions across 12 countries, and will certify you to take a TEFL course.  Check it out here!
3. CPE (Certificate of Proficiency in English): This exam offered by the University of Cambridge will get you ready to teach English, and can be taken at specific universities or institutes around the world. 

Once you have completed one of the previous exams, you will be eligible to take a TEFL course in Argentina or anywhere around the world and get started on your teaching English career!
