Yes - 120 hours is the minimum most schools, recruiters and online teaching platforms ask for worldwide. In competitive markets such as the Middle East, Japan and South Korea, a 150-hour or 250-hour qualification gives you more training to show employers.

You get 180 days' access to the 120-hour and 150-hour courses and 365 days' access to the 250-hour Professional course. All courses are self-paced, so you can finish faster or spread your study out - most students complete in 6 to 20 weeks depending on the course.

There is always a real personal tutor. On our interactive courses the short knowledge checks inside each module mark themselves instantly, so you get immediate confirmation as you study, but every assignment - the written tasks, the reflections and your lesson plans - is read and marked by a qualified tutor who writes you individual feedback. That human marking is how you develop genuine teaching skill, not just a certificate.

You receive a free Global English PDF certificate on completion, and can order a hard-copy ACTDEC-accredited certificate for your course. Global English has trained teachers since 1997 and has been ACTDEC-accredited since 2004.
