Why Get a 100+ Hours TESOL/TEFL Certification
The unofficial industry standard for TESOL certification is 100+ training hours, why?
100+ hour certification courses allow enough time to learn how to teach; most authoritative ESL organizations recommend it, and most reputable language schools expect it.
Time, in a TESOL Certification course, matters. It takes time to develop the skills you need to teach effectively. 100+ hour courses allow you to practice them and receive valuable feedback from an experienced instructor. Having sufficient time to internalize knowledge affords you the confidence to know what you’re talking about while teaching subjects like grammar.
What do the authorities say?
The British Council, which taught 1.1 million class hours of English to 325,000 learners in 53 countries in 2005, advises that most reputable courses should be 100+ hours. Jeremy Harmer, a popular writer on teaching ESL, includes 100 hours in ‘what to look for’ when choosing a course. Some organizations offer shorter courses: a day, a week, 60 hours, etc. To distinguish these from 100+ hour courses, these are often referred to as "introductory" or "taster" courses.

Schools which play an ethical role in the ESL job market require teachers who are able to deliver effective lessons to their students. Having time, in a certification course, to learn how to do this is recommended by major authorities in the ESL industry. Getting the teaching skills you need in a course that gives you time to practice them opens up opportunities with organizations which value good teaching.
