The TEFL Academy is one of the most well-known and well-recognized TEFL course providers in the world. Here we take a closer look at The TEFL Academy — the company, the courses and, of course, The TEFL Academy Reviews.

The TEFL Academy: Company Profile

The TEFL Academy was launched in July 2011. Their main aim was to offer the most accessible, flexible and cost-effective way to get TEFL-qualified, with more ongoing support for graduates than any other TEFL course provider.

By mid-2014, The TEFL Academy had already certified 10,000 TEFL teachers; by 2018 this has grown to 50,000; by 2020 100,000.

The TEFL Academy launched the world’s first Level 5 TEFL qualification. Not long after, they were the first TEFL course provider to be officially recognized by government-approved awarding bodies in both the US and the UK.

Then came the awards. The TEFL Academy won the Go Overseas for Overall Top TEFL Course Provider in 2020 AND 2021, as well as Go Abroad Top TEFL Provider award in 2021. What’s even more telling is that these awards are based on The TEFL Academy reviews!

They know the TEFL course inside and out, and they’ve been through the process themselves. They have insider knowledge on what it is like to make a living teaching English abroad.

The TEFL Academy Review 3: Federica

Recently I decided to enroll for the Level 5 of the TEFL Course offered by The TEFL Academy and it was the best decision for me. The materials were easy to follow, the videos gave suggestions and exercises to use and adapt for the classroom, and the 10h teaching practice was the cherry on the top! The best experience ever! Also, the tutors were available anytime and I always got rapid responses from them. Moreover, my assignments were graded in less than 24 hours! I highly recommend them[3] !
