All main courses (Level 3 & 5) are Ofqual regulated
Most providers hold Ofqual regulation for their Level 5 course, but their Level 3, often their most popular, is not government-regulated. This means if you choose a competitor's Level 3 course, your qualification may not be Ofqual regulated. With The TEFL Academy, whichever level you choose, you receive an Ofqual-regulated qualification.

Go Overseas & GoAbroad awards
Go Overseas and GoAbroad are two of the world's most respected names in education and travel programs. They present annual awards based on student reviews, program quality, and overall satisfaction. The TEFL Academy has won these awards for 7 consecutive years, the longest winning streak of any TEFL provider. Some competitors may have won one of the two awards, but no other provider has consistently won both over this period.

Average internship fee
The TEFL Academy never charges more than the price you'd get going directly to the internship provider. Our revenue comes from provider partnerships, not student fees. Other TEFL providers charge students $800 - $1,500 for internship placements that are actually free or low-cost.

Fast-track tutor support
Competitors offer support from the same dedicated tutor who is assigned to you for the duration of the course. This means you're entirely dependent on one person's availability, if they're busy, on leave, or simply slow to respond. We offer a pool of tutors which means you receive a response within a few hours, including weekends and public holidays. The result is faster feedback on assignments, quicker answers to your questions, and nothing to slow down your course completion.
