“I do not know where to begin to express how wonderful my course was because of the amazing teacher I had. He was easy to get a hold of when I had a question and understanding when I was late in posting a response due to a family emergency. I learned a lot because the material was clear and easy to understand. I appreciated the resource library and the accompanying videos for each lesson because they helped to clarify questions I had. I highly recommend TEFL for your EFL Certification!”

“recently completed International TEFL Academy’s 170-hour online Level 5 program while balancing a full-time professional role and preparing for an international move. The course was well-structured, with practical weekly assignments, in-depth readings on cultural sensitivity and classroom technology, and effective frameworks like PPP. The resources (lesson templates, ESL games, job guides) are excellent and immediately useful. Instructor feedback was supportive, and touches like natural-voice essay assistance made the process smoother. What stands out most is the lifetime job search guidance and extensive alumni network — ideal for transitioning into ESL/TEFL teaching abroad or online. The accreditation and rigorous approach have given me real confidence. Highly recommended for career changers seeking a respected program with ongoing support. Thank you, ITA team!”

“Intense and worth it! I don't know how those wonderful people do the 4 week version - I needed all 11 weeks to get all of my written assignments and reading done - but I was working full time. Truly the instructors were great, our teacher Dr. Grantz was just a delight and so smart and eloquent and easy to work with. I can't say enough good things about the course and the people. Not joking in the title though, hit me up if you would like a referral link to benefit us both!”
