TEFL Course Review (TCR) gives you access to the opinions and personal experiences of students who have completed one of 100+ different teacher training courses in over 50 countries around the world.
Deciding which CELTA, TESL, TEFL or TESOL school is right for you requires research. Do you want a weekend or full-time course, in-class or online program, local or international location? Before you enroll, it’s important to hear what students have said about the course, school, and location.
By aggregating course attendees’ experiences and ratings, TEFL Course Review hopes to make your decision process easier.

Referral Programs
Some of the teacher training courses reviewed on TEFL Course Review have referral programs, but most do not. If a course has a referral program, we do add referral IDs to some links to the courses’ websites; this allows us to earn revenue to develop and maintain this website for you. However, referral IDs are ignored in the rating algorithm and do not affect a course’s rank in any way.
