Our verdict
i-to-i suits anyone who wants a recognised TEFL certificate online, finished fast, with tutor support and job support in a single purchase. Entry at €99 with no free tier means you pay before seeing the material, and a practicum is not part of the plan.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Assessments come as part of the course, so your English is marked as you work through it rather than left to a final self check.
- Tutor support and job support are both included, covering the two things most TEFL buyers weigh: help while studying and help finding work.
- Accreditation runs to ofqual and deac, and the credit listing is ofqual, so an employer can place the certificate.
- The 120 hours course is set to be finished in 2 to 6 weeks, a short window for a certificate listed at Level 3.
- Support covers email, chat and phone, which is wider than email alone.
Cons
- The free tier is not offered, so you commit before you can sample a lesson and €99 is the only way in.
- Practicum is not part of the course, which rules out anyone who needs observed classroom hours alongside 120 hours of study.
- Study is online only, so anyone hoping for classroom contact will not find it here.
- Entry at €99 is above £25 from Academy for Health and Fitness and above the €35.08 typical across the site.
Who it suits
- Learners who want a single assessed TEFL certificate, studied online and finished on a short schedule.
- People who want tutor support and job support inside the same purchase rather than added afterwards.
- Buyers who want accreditation already listed, here ofqual and deac, rather than an unnamed awarding route.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone who wants to look before paying, since Hotmart lists entry at $0 and i-to-i has no free tier.
- Learners after nursing or health qualifications, where DRCertifications sells nursing certifications from $19.99 and Academy for Health and Fitness lists entry at £25 in the UK.
What it does well
Assessments are part of what you buy here, so your English gets marked as you move through the material instead of being self checked at the end. The free tier is not part of the offer, so the assessed route is the only route in. That shapes who the course suits: people who want their grammar and writing looked at by a marker will find that worthwhile, and people who like to browse a provider first will not.
Who runs it
i-to-i is operated by Teach and Travel Group Ltd, with a base in the United Kingdom. The company was founded in 1994, which matters in TEFL, where employers check how long a certificate provider has been trading before they accept it. Learner support runs on email, chat and phone, so email, chat, phone and a help centre are all available, and that mix of direct channels and self service help suits a narrow catalogue.
How i-to-i compares
Frequently asked questions
How much does a TEFL course cost on i-to-i?+
Entry starts at €99, which is the only price the provider lists. Across the site the middle of the range sits at €35.08, so i-to-i sits above the typical figure. There is no cheaper second route in, because the free tier is not offered.
Is there a free tier or trial to try first?+
No free tier is offered, so there is no sample lesson or trial to sit through. The curated catalogue begins at €99, which means the course outline and the Level 3 description are the closest thing to a preview you get before paying.
How long is the course and how fast can I finish it?+
The course carries 120 hours and is set to be completed in 2 to 6 weeks. That is a tight window for a professional teaching certificate, and because study is online you set the pace rather than following a fixed class timetable.
Is the certificate recognised by employers?+
The certificate is listed as professional in professional, and the course is accredited through ofqual and deac. Credit recognition is listed as ofqual, and the qualification level is Level 3, so an employer checking a TEFL provider has named bodies to look at.
Does the course include classroom practice?+
No. Practicum is not included, so no observed teaching hours are attached to the 120 hours of study, and delivery is online. Learners who need supervised classroom time for their own requirements should look at a provider that includes it before they sign up.
What support do I get while studying and after?+
Tutor support is included, and job support is part of the package as well. Day to day, help runs on email, chat and phone, so email, chat, phone and a help centre are all in play. Job support matters most for anyone whose goal is a classroom job abroad.
Who runs i-to-i?+
i-to-i is operated by Teach and Travel Group Ltd, based in the United Kingdom and founded in 1994. That length of trading matters in TEFL, where schools and employers tend to check a provider's history, and the languages focus keeps the catalogue narrow rather than spread thin.
How does the entry price compare with other options?+
Different subjects and different currencies, so read these as rough signals: i-to-i entry is €99, DRCertifications starts at $19.99 for nursing certifications, and Academy for Health and Fitness lists entry at £25 in the UK. Hotmart lists entry at $0, which is a different kind of purchase entirely.
