Totally recommend!!

I chose to complete a TEFL to learn a new skill and broaden my horizons and I definitely feel like I achieved that! Overall, my experience with The TEFL Academy was brilliant, the layout is well-structured and easy to follow and there is a good balance of reading information and activities to complete. There are also several points where you can share ideas with others doing the course, which I found really helpful and interesting. One of the best parts of this course was the amount of guidance and resources it provided you with and to find useful content, further information or just fun teaching tips and tricks. I was able to put my TEFL skills to use when I did some volunteering in a school and I definitely felt that i was better prepared, able to draw up a lesson plan or quick activity and offer feedback which i wouldn't have done without this course. I can't recommend it enough!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Keep notes as you go of the key info and bits you want to remember most, there is also a summary provided at the end of each topic which I copied and pasted into my own notes so I always have an easy reference back to what I need!
Pros
  • Looks great on a resume
  • Opens up new travel and work options
  • Learn something new and practical
What other participants should know
  • A tiny bit of homework

Great Teacher Recommendations

The course had a number of videos by actual TEFL teachers and gave authenticate advise how engage with different type of students. It was a great mix of basic facts and experiences and antidotal stories, so it was loads of information and also a mix of interesting observations. I liked it, studying at home online can be boring somethings, this course was engaging and interesting in every chapters.
I feel much more prepared to Teach English than before taking the course. There are a lot of tools and PPP approaches. It is the tip of the iceberg, so much more to learn. A great start to a longer adventure.

  • Well organized
  • Loads of information
What other participants should know

TEFL Academy Level 3 review

I heard about The TEFL Academy through a friend of mine. Out of all the TEFL websites we explored, this one was by far the most attractive—the dashboard was simple and easy to navigate, and I especially liked the color scheme. After purchasing the Level 3 course, I quickly began studying and exploring the units. The content was informative, enjoyable to learn, and very well organized. It truly exceeded my expectations—even though they were quite high to begin with.

I completed the course a few days ago and am currently waiting for my certificate. It’s going to take a while, but that's understandable given the high demand.

I highly recommend The TEFL Academy’s website and course.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I would opt for this program earlier. It was truly a unique experience that also comes with a certificate that helps you teach abroad and immerse yourself in different cultures all over the world.
Pros
  • Highly informative.
  • Engaging user interface.
  • Value for money.

Excellent experience

I took the level 3 TEFL course of 120 hours. The course was great, informative, clear and easy to follow and complete. The assignments were on point and I used the student’s support quite a few times with great success. Their response was always quick, polite and efficient. I am very happy with the results and I encourage anyone thinking about taking aTEFL course, to do it with TTA. The quizzes were a good way of knowing I was on track and I really liked the fact that I could take them múltiple times. Overall, great course and experience

What was your funniest moment?
My funniest moment was when I was doing my first assignment on paper. I realized I run out of space so I went and purchase a big blank póster to fill it out accordingly.
Pros
  • Material is easy to understand
  • Student support always available
  • You study at your own pace
What other participants should know
  • Sometimes I clicked on a play button that did not work
  • The first assignment was a little too long

The TEFL Academy Course

The course I took (Level 3 TEFL course) was comprehensive and appropriately challenging. I could follow the instructions without any confusion, the lessons were informative and equipped me with the necessary skills to teach English to students learning it as a second language. I know more about how lesson plans should be structured, what strategies can be used to teach different kinds of rarget language, and am prepared to correct and guide students to become confident and competent speakers of English.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I would trust myself more. During the course I tended to second-guess myself a lot, overthinking the work and my approach to it.
Pros
  • Learning to teach young students English.

Flexible and Empowering

I finished my Level 5 TEFL certification with The TEFL Academy in 2025, and honestly, it was a really positive experience. The course was well-organized and covered everything I needed, from grammar and lesson planning to classroom management and teaching methods in a way that was easy to follow and engaging.

What I loved most was how flexible the course was. I could study at my own pace, which made it so much easier to balance with my other commitments.

Whenever I had questions or ran into any tech issues, the support team was quick to help. The course challenged me just enough to step outside my comfort zone but without being overwhelming, thanks to clear explanations and practical examples.

A big highlight for me was the assignments. They weren’t just theoretical; they actually helped me practice real teaching skills, especially when it came to lesson planning. The feedback I got was detailed and really useful for improving.

The TEFL Academy also offers lots of job resources like resume tips, job boards, and connections to employers. While some of the job support was more focused on the UK and Europe, it was still a helpful starting point for my international job search.

What other participants should know
  • Limited live teaching practice
  • Some job resources are UK-/EU-centric
  • Would benefit from more video demonstrations

The TEFL Academy, Your Best Bet!

Hi, my name is Sidney, from Nigeria, I completed my TEFL (Level 5) certification 14days ago with The TEFL Academy.
