I recently completed my TEFL 5 Diploma through The TEFL Academy and I am incredibly impressed with the level of education and support that I received throughout the program. I initially had concerns that revisiting the cold and repetitive intricacies of academic English would be tedious let alone boring, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that the course was not only engaging but also satisfying and nostalgic in a sense. The material was clearly presented and provided me with a comprehensive understanding of the key principles and techniques required to be an effective English teacher.
The administrative and support staff were truly outstanding, providing professional and responsive assistance whenever I had questions or concerns. The website was well-maintained, visually pleasing and easy to navigate, making it a breeze to complete the coursework. Additionally, the webinars were a valuable supplement to the course, providing an opportunity to further develop my understanding of key concepts and expand my skill set.
I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to have completed my TEFL 5 Diploma with The TEFL Academy, it has empowered me with the knowledge and skills to pursue my passion of teaching English and inspiring others to chase their dreams. I highly recommend The TEFL Academy to anyone who is considering a career in teaching English as a foreign language, as it is without a doubt, a top-tier program that will equip you with everything you need to be an exceptional teacher.
I believe that education is the key to unlocking a world of infinite potential and possibilities, and I feel honored to be a part of this mission, the kids are the future and The TEFL Academy will undoubtedly enable me to guide them in the right direction.

Response from The TEFL Academy
Hello Kareem,
Thank you for your review. We are pleased that you are satisfied with the course content.
We are sorry to hear you are having trouble with your hard copy certificate. I can see a replacement was sent out via tracked courier this week.
Additionally, you were provided with a free PDF and confirmation of completion letter via email at the time of completion. Please note that PDF certificates may be used to both apply for jobs and the legalisation process.
Unfortunately, Royal Mail’s tracked services ceases to provide accurate tracking once it has left the UK which is why we are unable to provide this service as standard. It would be cost prohibitive to provide tracking for all students when it fails to work outside of the UK. The only way to guarantee door to door tracking it to use courier services. As 99% of our hard copy certificates arrive at their destination without any issues, we do not provide courier services as standard. The cost of these as standard would require us to raise the price of the courses across the board for a very small number of students that have an issue.
I can assure you we do not gain any money for issuing replacements. In fact, we actually absorb the cost of reissuing the certificate ourselves and only require the student to pay for the postage if they request a courier (standard mail is free of charge for all students outside of South Africa).
Students are provided with access to log in and copy any material they require for 12 months after completion of the course if they request this via email. I can see from our communication history that student services have provided you with CV and cover letter support and certificate legalisation information but if you do feel you need further support, please do not hesitate to reach out on hello@theteflacademy.com.
