# What if I can't complete my course on time?

## Contact us at teflsupport@teachaway.com to get a new course deadline

The TEFL course takes only 6-12 weeks to complete with 1-2 hours of daily work.

If you have 6 or more weeks left until your course is due, continue to work on your course diligently and submit your extension request only once you are **within 4 weeks of your deadline.**

 Students have a maximum of 1 year to complete the course. A **one-time extension of 1-year** is allowed unless there are health or other extenuating circumstances.

Before you request your extension, remember that each lesson should take one hour or less to complete. Plan your study schedule accordingly and make a request only once you have determined you require additional time.

Email our TEFL team at [teflonline@teachaway.com](mailto:teflonline@teachaway.com) to request your extension. Once your course has been extended, you'll see a new deadline in your course.

Have more questions? Please contact our TEFL Support Team [here](mailto:teflsupport@teachaway.com).
