“From start to finish, ITA went above and beyond in all aspects of my TEFL journey. From initial contact, Kristi Skinner from Recruitment, course payment, course guidelines/instructions, to completion, have all been clear and seamless. The payment plan option was prime given my situation. My instructor Jesica Nkouga had a plethora of experience and was always kind, consistent and fair. She provided insight, resources, and a world’s worth of knowledge in such a short 11-week span. I enjoyed the course and the material is the perfect length and complexity for one seeking to acquire their TEFL certification. One of the best parts is the lifetime guidance ITA offers. Once I complete my Practicum I will be smooth sailing and I know I have piece of mind with ITA’s lifetime career guidance support.”

“This is a well designed and structured course that is set up for you to learn and succeed. While you may learn a bit about English grammar, the course is more about teaching someone how to teach and how to build and deliver a learning path and lesson plans for ESL students. You'll learn key methods and approaches for teaching in standard, effective, and consistent ways. You may learn a little about yourself and how you could possibly be of service to others in their own journey to learn English.”

“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!”
