This checklist: https://qualifyafrica.com/o/italki-professional-teacher-online
Built only from what the listing states. Lines marked (our advice) are ours.
A short application, by our reading.

1. CHECK YOURSELF AGAINST WHAT THEY ASK
[ ] proof you are trained to teach that language: an accredited certificate such as CELTA or a TEFL/TESOL of at least 120 hours, a degree in teaching it as a foreign language, a teaching licence, or proof of employment at a language teaching institution
[ ] native-level or C2 level in the language you teach
[ ] the language must be open that week; this week English, French, Portuguese, Arabic, Swahili, Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba, Afrikaans and Nigerian Pidgin are closed
[ ] a computer, microphone and webcam, plus a valid government ID for verification

2. WHAT TO GET READY
[ ] Certificates or degree copies (Scan or photograph them clearly, in good light, flat.)
[ ] A video (Short, clear sound, good light. A phone is enough.)
It also names something beyond these; read their words below.
In their words: "Teaching documents (certificate, degree, licence or signed and dated employment proof), an introduction video, then ID verification. Free MOOC certificates (Udemy, Coursera, ALISON) and proficiency tests such as IELTS are not accepted as teaching proof."

3. DATES
- No closing date is stated.
- Openings with no closing date can close once they have enough people, so sooner is safer. (our advice)
- On the date, the listing says: italki opens and closes languages week by week. For 21 to 27 September 2026 English, French, Portuguese, Arabic, Swahili, Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba, Afrikaans and Nigerian Pidgin are closed; 'Languages not listed in the table below are all open'.

A job never asks you to pay to apply. A listing that charges shows the fee above, and it is paid only to the organisation. If anyone asks for money any other way, stop, and tell us: hello@qualifyafrica.com
