Can TEFL courses make 2025 your best year yet?
• TEFL

Whether you prefer to stay in and relax with Jools Holland and his annual Hootenanny or like to be out in the crowds with a drink or two – the New Year celebrations this year will mark the beginning of 2025!
But what are you looking forward to most in the new year?
Is developing your education levels and qualifications to access a new job on that list? If so, TEFL courses could be the key to living your best year yet!
Aren’t New Year’s resolutions a waste of time?
According to YouGov data, one in six participants said they kept their 2024 resolutions, with 45% of those who kept them achieving most but not all. Only one in five surveyed said they didn’t keep personal promises at all!
So, perhaps New Year’s resolutions aren’t as pointless as you might have feared!
While the most popular resolutions centre around health and fitness and improving money habits, a large proportion of people consider how learning a new skill or improving themselves professionally can boost their career.
In this instance, TEFL courses can be worth their weight in gold for those looking to escape to a rewarding new career.
Why choose TEFL courses in 2025?
With thousands of learners choosing TEFL UK courses every year, why are they something to consider if you are looking to be your most successful self in 2025?
They are designed to get you into work
A course designed to qualify you to teach English as a foreign language – a TEFL course – is centred around giving you practical skills, experience, and the understanding required to get out there and teach English!
It might seem obvious but unlike other qualifications which give you theory but no practical skills, TEFL courses are crafted to be different.
This means for most countries across the globe, you can complete your TEFL course, jump on a plane, and launch into your exciting new career without delay!
You can complete them in your own time
Unlike traditional full-time qualifications like A-levels or degrees, you can study our TEFL courses in your own time, including in the evening or while on annual leave.
As such, whether you’ve just left school, have a full-time job, or are a carer for friends or family, you can study for your new job in the comfort of your own home – whenever suits you best.
Cost-effectiveness is key
Unlike degrees which will cost a minimum of £9,535 annually just in tuition fees, TEFL courses are very affordable.
So, you can pay monthly or in a one-off chunk and gain a new qualification for just a couple of hundred pounds at most.
This ensures that teaching English isn’t limited to only those with large amounts of disposable income and delivers an accessible career for those who love to travel and want to make a difference.
How do TEFL courses work?
If are considering retraining in the new year but are short on time, online TEFL courses are the answer for you.
With TEFL UK, as soon as you have purchased your course (or been given one as a gift!), you will be given an instant access link that allows you to access the TEFL UK portal and start studying whenever you like.
The best thing about the TEFL UK portal is that it remembers your progress, so you can dip in and out as needed – allowing you to ensure studying fits around you and not the other way around.
Once you have completed the assessments and you pass, you’ll be able to download your TEFL certificate, ideal for sharing with employers on your job hunt.
If you are interested in a TEFL course, speak to TEFL UK
While we are biased, choosing to complete one of our specifically designed TEFL courses in early 2025 is the best way to get your year off to a successful start.
