TEFL is great but can be tweaked a tiny bit
It is a great and easy way to get your TEFL certificate. I got to do it in my free time and that helped me get it pretty quick. It is catered to those from the UK…. I don’t live in the UK and there are lots of differences between UK English and US English. I wish they had both versions. Also, I wish there was a way I could keep the course and the materials for life. Why does it have to go away after a certain amount of time?

Thank you for your review, Brooke! ⭐ We're delighted to hear that you found the course easy to follow and that it helped you earn your TEFL certification in a flexible way around your schedule.
We appreciate your feedback regarding UK and US English and will certainly pass this suggestion on to our Academic Team for consideration in future updates.
In relation to course access, the study period and access terms are outlined in our Terms & Conditions at the time of enrolment. For this reason, we always strongly encourage students to take notes throughout their studies so they can refer back to them in the future.
Thank you again for your valuable feedback, and we wish you every success on your teaching journey! 😊

They want you to succeed and support you all the way in helping you to achieve your goals. The weekly tutorials are excellent and help keep you on track and informed.

Love it! Would highly recommend!
I bought the TEFL course in December 2026 during a promotion. My package included 180HR Level 5 Course and 5 of the 30HR Courses. This has been a wonderful learning experience. Each course is full of information I don't think I could've obtained easily on my own. Whenever I've had an issue, the TEFL academic team has been swift to reply and resolve in less than 24 hours. Do yourself a favor, don't wait!

Very well-put together learning packages. You don't have to complete a module or even a lesson in one sitting, but if you can make a habit of a regular session, completing one, two or more lessons, it's amazing how addictive it becomes.
