Tesol is "teaching English to speakers of another language", Tefl is "teaching English as a foreign language". Tesol is used in reference to courses such as the Trinity TESOL course. TEFL is used more commonly in the UK particularly in reference to TEFL jobs.

To be eligible to take a TEFL/TESOL certification course, your level of English needs to be at (CEFR) level C1 or C2. In addition to this requirement, some countries stipulate that job applicants must hold a college degree. The college degree is required for the work visa permit and can (usually) be attained in any subject. Therefore, as an example, if you wish to teach English in China and you have a TEFL/TESOL qualification and a degree in architecture, you are eligible to apply for the work permit specific to a teaching English job position.

Is it better to have tesol or tefl certificate when teaching abroad?

Basically, they mean nearly the same thing - they both allow you to teach English to non-native English speakers. The correct (but rarely used) distinction is that teaching TESOL means you're in a native English speaking country, teaching non-native speakers, while TEFL means you're in a non-native English speaking country, teaching English as a foreign language. If you're interested, TESOL stands for Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, and TEFL means Teaching English as a Foreign Language. The yardstick to measure quality really comes from whether the TEFL or TESOL course is an online or face to face course that involves classroom teaching, and also how many hours it takes. The most well respected is a 120 hour face to face course with at least 6 hours of classroom teaching practice. Our company offers a 40-hour TEFL certificate that is completed online before our teachers arrive. Once they are here, they receive enough training that it becomes a 120-hour TEFL certificate with a face to face component and classroom teaching practice.
