The TEFL Academy review, submitted by Louise.
I want to be fair to The Tefl Academy so I will begin my review by writing that the course was very good. I thought it was structured really well. It also covered a lot of ground and I truly learned a lot. Not everything advertised was promised though. There wasn’t any tutor support and nobody got back to me when I emailed off a question. I wasn’t made aware that I needed to make an additional purchase to receive the certificate either. The costs add up. This is not a cheap course. Still, though, I was more than happy with what I had learned so I just paid the certification fee and began searching for teaching jobs in Asia. I’ve always wanted to live and work in Asia, so when the option to teach English in South Korea presented itself I jumped at the chance. There was a hell of a lot of paperwork to prepare for the work visa and the SMOE needed lots of docs also. I spent two months getting all my ducks in a row for the visa and right at the last minute, my application was declined because the SMOE couldn’t verify my certificate. I later discovered that my TEFL Academy certificate couldn’t be apostilled because they don’t recognize Level 5 TEFL certificates in South Korea and The Tefl Academy isn’t an accredited school. Apparently, they are regulated, but not accredited. Someone should tell them to take the accreditation claims off their school website.
Essential Tip!
You must choose a Fully Accredited TEFL TESOL online international certification course program.
