Great experience
February 18, 2026by: Janet Abbott - United KingdomProgram: Online Level 3 TEFL Course
Good course, good information. Particularly found useful the example lessons.. The quizzes and assessments were well planned. It was useful to be able to redo, if the pass level had not been achieved.
Level 5 TEFL course
February 18, 2026by: Nikki Ramsoondur - South AfricaProgram: Online Level 5 TEFL Course
I just received my Level 5 TEFL course certificate - so excited to start on this new season of life. I plan on teaching online as I still need to take care of family at home :-) I thoroughly enjoyed doing the course, the assignments were challenging but fun and the assessment comments insightful and very helpful. I highly recommend the TEFL Academy - their courses are in-depth and their student support excellent.
Growth, Confidence, new opportunities
February 18, 2026by: Juanita Swart - South AfricaProgram: Online Level 5 TEFL Course
My TEFL journey was a truly positive learning experience with just the right amount of challenge. It boosted my teaching confidence, gave me practical classroom tools I now use in all subjects, and reignited my excitement and love for teaching. I can’t wait to see where it leads me next.

What inspired you to travel abroad?
What inspired me the most was being able to help people achieve their dreams of travelling and teaching English in other countries around the world. Some people are in the middle of switching careers after many years and seeing them follow their dreams just as I did at some point in my life and take such a big step, is admiring and gratifying.

What inspired you to travel abroad?
I have worked in educational/travel industries for over two and a half years now. I love to work with people who are looking to broaden their horizons and experience new things. Our students will go out into the world and teach others the very valuable skill of the English language. It is great to be part of the process. It is great to assist people in reaching their goals of becoming a certified TEFL teacher.
