The TEFL Academy was the world’s first TEFL course provider to receive official recognition from government-regulated awarding bodies in both the USA and UK. This means when you graduate you’ll hold a globally recognized Level 3 (120hr) Certificate or Level 5 (168hr) Diploma, meaning you can find work anywhere and apply for jobs immediately.
