The TEFL Academy review, submitted by William.
I recently completed TTA The TEFL Academy Level 5 course. I have two concerns:
One. The false advertising saying courses are on special discount for set period of time. This is obviously not true. This just reruns with the clock count down, all of the time. I see it with my own eyes. It is designed to make you buy a course because you think it won’t be discounted after the clock has run down. I would put good money on a wager that the full course price has never been made available on the website, and that its high price is simply a marketing tactic to make the discounted price appear so generous. Are you selling a sofa or a TEFL course?
The second is that my instructor was very hit or miss. Sometimes she would answer with a generic copy/paste reply, but mostly I wouldn’t hear back at all. And don’t bother trying to contact the company. They’ll have you in a ticket queue lasting weeks. Being asked to write a review in exchange for a free starter course also got my back up. If I want to write a review (as I am doing now) I will do it on my own terms. It made me question the trustworthiness of TTA The TEFL Academy reviews I read when I was choosing which Online TEFL course to take. Just so you know, it wasn’t Trusted TEFL Reviews that I was asked to post on. It was a few other review websites that they clearly have a strong preference for, going by their website.
The good thing, and why I’m giving 3 stars, is the course itself. The bare bones of the course is excellent. Despite the intense nature of the content, namely grammar, I never felt overwhelmed by the content. I haven’t used the certificate yet so I’m hoping it’s going to be accepted. If the support had been there, I would have given a higher rating. A mixed-bag TTA The TEFL Academy review, but not a poor one from me. William.

I don’t recommend The TEFL Academy. Their certificates are useless. They are only recognized in Ireland, Malta, and the UK. I got a refund through my bank. A complete waste of time. Choose a different company.
