TESOL certification does not expire; once you receive your TESOL certificate, it lasts a lifetime. Some teachers continue building on their initial certification in order to qualify for more jobs by upgrading their course to add more hours of training or by earning a specialized TEFL/TESOL certificate in a high-demand teaching area, such as teaching English online or teaching young learners, or a shorter TEFL/TESOL Micro-credential course certificate in a current ESL topic, such as Teaching English Using Podcasts.
These two acronyms are umbrella terms for training courses offered online or in-person (or a blend of both) that prepare English language teachers. Although technically these terms have somewhat different meanings, when it comes to getting certified to teach English as a foreign language or getting hired as a teacher, TEFL and TESOL are used interchangeably. In fact, when you’re shopping around for online TEFL courses, you may even see them described as “TEFL/TESOL courses.” Similarly, schools that hire teachers will make no distinction between the two. You might see an ad for a teaching job that requires “TEFL/TESOL certification,” for example.
