Get TEFL Certified & Teach English Abroad with International TEFL Academy

Cool course - learned a lot! Great resources and content. Lesson plans for dayss, country facts, and cultural vignettes. The teacher was super awesome and had lots of interesting experiences abroad herself teaching. Got me really excited about taking this on and becoming an EFL teacher abroad.
The course lacks a foundation in teaching grammar but I also believe that a lot of EFL/ESL courses are like this as well. Scared to start teaching but through TEFL found a lot of good opportunities locally to volunteer with first then off exploring the world :)

If you take this course, you will learn so much information, improve your performance as a professional educator and be able to apply what you learn right away. The course length was neither too long or too short. The content and coursework was challenging enough to learn and grow but not impossible to absorb and process. What a great value for the tuition payed. If you are considering teaching ESL/EFL, I would strongly recommend this course/program without hesitation. Not only is there support while you are taking the course, there is a job placement resource and alumni resources as well.

ITA is a great organization and the online TEFL program is a great option for those who can't attend in person. The only thing that outshines the program is ITA's continued support before, during, and after the program! I took this course in 2015 and have been using the knowledge gained and skills learned ever since. ITA opened the door to what has become my dream job. They are a very friendly company and are highly responsive. I wouldn't change my decision to go through ITA for TEFL certification in a million years!

Support before, during and TEFL is what I received from ITA. The admissions counselor was attentive to my inquiries. I never felt "pressured" to sign up with the school. Once I began my classes, I received swift and valuable feedback from my instructor helping me to understand points I could improve upon in my lesson planning. Since receiving my TEFL, I have been able to reach out to my counselor for continued support directly while the school has endeavored to grow and support its ever growing alumni. I've not ever felt alone in the TEFL journey or using my TEFL certification.

This company and program is 100% legit with efficient advisors, teachers, workers, etc. I should have done deeper research before signing up for this program because the course I took can be provided by other companies at a reduced cost. The course I took was the 11 week online TEFL course, and it cost a total of $1,099 after discount. Being fully honest, I was quite disappointed with the quality content of the course based on how much I paid. I was required to read textbooks 85% of the time, 5% videos, and the rest being class discussions. One thing about this company that stands out from others is that they help you find a job after completing your course. I am not too sure how helpful they are when it comes to job searching, but I have read both positive and negative reviews on this. If you are considering to sign up for this program, do your research first and know what you are signing up for. My review on International TEFL Academy is neutral.

This is a legit TEFL course program, BUT it's one of the most expensive out there.
They are quick to respond to your questions, and they will be there to help you out even once you are finished with your course.
I wouldn't personally recommend using enrolling because there are several courses with the same information that costs less.
Some of the course videos are outdated, but other than that, the course itself is legit.
If you are going to sign up for this course, you don't need to buy the textbook they encourage you to purchase.
Ashely, my TEFL advisor was super quick and informative when we called. There were some misunderstandings and conflicts that arose, but International TEFL Academy was quick to resolve this for me.
Also, I may be wrong, but international TEFL might have some sort of agreement with gooverseas (this rating site).

(I rated 5 for all because I felt neutral about the program)

The International TEFL Academy was very easy to fit into my schedule. I loved how everything was set up each week of doing peer responses, a quiz, and an activity. It is a good mix of lesson planning and learning for the activities. The book used is amazing and easy to understand. The second instructor was good at explaining what was going on each week and graded the homework quickly. I also felt heard through the experience, when I felt like my first instructor was not doing the best, ITA immediately found a new instructor to take over and help make the rest of the class. My favorite thing was that I got an extra 60 days after the 11 weeks to complete the practicum experience.

I am a lawyer by profession. I have spent all my life behind a computer trying to solve urgent problems happening all around the world in the shipping industry. I had never worked with children nor as a teacher before. The course gives you a very good insight as to how a language should be taught. This method is far from the methods used when I was at school. At that time we only learned grammar and literature and never in context . The TEFL course shows you how to teach grammar and vocabulary, always in context, making sure the student is in the centre of the class, learning games that students enjoy.
