Tefl Academy level 3 online course
Honestly I was a bit nervous to start, but The TEFL Academy made it so much easier than I expected. The course is really well explained and you can go at your own pace, which helped me a lot. Whenever I had a question the tutors got back to me quickly and were so kind and supportive. I learned so much and actually enjoyed doing it. So grateful — would definitely recommend!

Great experience with TEFL Academy
I recently completed my Level 3 TEFL 120-hour course with The TEFL Academy and I'm so happy! The course was challenging but very well structured and easy to follow online. The support team was always helpful. I have now received my official certificate and transcript. I am now finishing my bonuses and planning to start Level 5 next. Thank you TEFL Academy for helping me start my teaching journey. I would recommend it to anyone in South Africa wanting to teach English.

An amazing TTA journey / Review.
My journey with TTA was amazing. Not only was it educational, but it was interesting and genuinely fun throughout! I really liked how the course was laid out, everything flowed well including the assignments and “test your understanding” sections, it was clear and easy to understand. This course has helped me feel more comfortable and prepared to begin my online teaching journey!
