I recently completed the online TEFL course from **The TEFL Academy**, and it was a highly valuable experience. The course was well-structured, flexible, and covered all key areas of English teaching, including grammar, lesson planning, and classroom management. The interactive content and tutor support made learning engaging and practical. It gave me the confidence and skills to teach both online and internationally. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to start a career in TEFL.

Excellent Course!

I really enjoyed this course and completed it in just 66 days. The materials were well-organized, the videos very helpful, and the overall structure made learning enjoyable. I gained a solid understanding of EFL teaching techniques, lesson planning, and classroom management. I feel confident and well-prepared to start my journey as an English teacher abroad. A truly excellent and rewarding experience! Thank you for a life changing experience.

The course was very user friendly, even for someone who is not very technologically advanced. The course material motivates the student to “think out of the box” and makes you excited to become a teacher. The set-up is very organized, and you never feel pressured to finish a unit. You can work at your own pace and time-management is up to you. The in-person class was very informative, and the facilitator was very well prepared. I really enjoyed having my brain cells stretched and am looking forward to getting back into teaching.

I just received my TEFL 5 certificate, and I must say the course exceeded my expectations. The course was filled with valuable references and various materials. The tutors provide very detailed and clear feedback. It’s a great resource for novice teachers. The CV and cover letter with TEFL logo provided at the end of the course was a thoughtful and useful gesture. After completing the course, many opportunities opens up, and six mounts of study were absolutely worth it.

I really enjoyed my course with The TEFL

Academy. The lessons were engaging, multi learning style, and straight to the point. I appreciated that I could buckle down and complete it in one month’s time. And it was at a great value, price-point as well.

I came to The TEFL Academy after leaving an 18-year career in engineering and corporate quality management. I was looking for a solid course to help me understand how to teach well and work independently while traveling , since I’m planning on doing that full time.

The content was clear and well-organized, and the assignments made me think. They weren’t “hard” in the traditional academic sense, but they did require me to slow down, reflect, and actually apply what I was learning — which I appreciated. I liked that the platform was self-paced, with practical tasks like lesson planning, classroom adaptation, and online teaching strategies.

The feedback on assignments was fair and useful, and I passed both on my first attempt. It felt like the right balance between supportive and serious — not too hand-holdy, but not cold either.

I now have my certificate and am building my online tutoring profile with a sense of purpose I didn’t have a year ago. For anyone who’s shifting careers, exploring long-term travel, or simply wants to teach with more confidence, I’d recommend this course. It’s a good place to start if you’re thoughtful, independent, and ready to do the work.

I’ve been thinking about becoming an English teacher for a very long time, but I just didn’t know where to start. Then, a friend recommended The TEFL Academy, and I am so happy I listened to her!

The course was inspiring, and really helped me to create a solid structure for my teaching experience, and now I can’t wait to start!

The process was really efficient and much effort was placed in the providing quality content for people wanting to complete their TEFL certificate. The customer service is also excellent as their responses are speedy and helpful. The feedback provided from the assessors of the assignment provide helpful and critical feedback which provides greater context of what you need to learn from the unit. The tests at the end of each unit were also very well thought out and helpful in learning the work.

I had the most wonderful learning experience with The TEFL Academy. The course was easy to follow and the work load was not overbearing at all. The layout of the course was easy to follow. Everything I needed to complete the course was at my fingertips. I did not need to ask for any help as everything was clear and straight forward. I will most definitely apply at The TEFL Academy again should I require to do another course. The TEFL Academy team, you are all absolutely amazing! I can now go online with confidence and continue to teach and make a difference thanks to you!
