Community Choice Awards 2024: TEFL Courses
We asked TEFL students to rate their experience in five categories: Instruction, Support, Value, Academic Rigor, and Job Assistance to determine this years top intern providers
Typically, earning a TEFL certificate and teaching abroad go hand in hand. Most people who enroll in a TEFL course hope to teach abroad one day, and they want to better prepare themselves for the challenges and joys of that journey.
Getting TEFL certified is a great alternative for people who are interested in teaching, or just want a career change. Here on Go Overseas, we have TEFL resources and program listings -- but we also have reviews from past TEFL students on what their experience was really like. We ask the TEFL students to rate their experience in five categories: Instruction, Support, Value, Academic Rigor, and Job Assistance. To determine the top TEFL providers, we looked at these categories and the overall ratings of each provider to come up with this list.
