The TEFL Academy

Company Profile

The TEFL Academy has some of the world’s leading EFL professionals working with us to provide the best TEFL courses available worldwide.

There are many TEFL course providers operating around the world. With so much choice, and with such a vast amount of conflicting information available on the Internet, it can be hard for prospective TEFL course students to make the right choice. The TEFL Academy's Level 5 TEFL course (168 hours) aims to provide students with accurate information, skills and training to ensure they leave the academy with a sound understanding of teaching English, as well as a clearer picture of the TEFL industry as a whole.

The TEFL Academy specialises in TEFL courses and nothing else. TEFL is not only in our name, but it is also the backbone of our academy. All of our trainers are experienced EFL professionals. They have all qualified as TEFL teachers themselves, gained years of actual teaching experience and are now passing on their working knowledge to our TEFL course students.

The TEFL Academy are the world's only TEFL course provider that has received official recognition from government regulated awarding bodies both in the US and the UK. Our Level 5 TEFL Course is DEAC-approved as meeting the criteria for Approved Quality Curriculum (AQC) status. The DEAC is a U.S. Department of Education recognised awarding body. Our course is regulated by Ofqual (UK government department) and awarded by Qualifi, a UK government recognised awarding body. After successful completion of our TEFL course, you'll be presented with an internationally recognised Level 5 TEFL Certificate (168 hours), so it's the only qualification you need!
