I have studied some online courses before this one that had poor Content Management systems.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When you complete the course, you receive a substantial list of job offers that are online and also ones located in specific countries.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You are not completely alone in the course. Whenever you have a question, you email the school, a ticket is assigned to you, and I tended to get a response back within a few business days to a week. Overall, communication with the school was fairly good.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I have a teaching job (online) and my TEFL Academy certificate helped a lot in this process.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>As I soon discovered, every school I applied to for work asked whether I had the 120-hour TEFL certificate. When I answered that I had a 168-hour Level 5 certificate, they said it would do but the extra hours of tuition are meaningless. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After completing the course, I received an email from the TEFL Academy that asked if I would leave a review for them on (fill in the blank) websites, and that in return for my writing a review they would offer me a free Teaching Young Learners or Teaching Business English course. I think they mentioned Facebook, Reviews.io, Trust Pilot, and a few others. I wrote back that I might, but I wanted to see how my certification was working for me in my new job (and future job applications) before I committed to writing a review. I receive that same email each end of the week and I wonder how many of this company&#8217;s reviews are written by people who just want the free course.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If I were to take a TEFL course again, I would take a 120-hour course because that strongly appears to be the gold standard for what online and abroad employers are looking for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I wouldn&#8217;t pay for a TEFL\/TESOL certification course offering more than 120 hours, unless there are 10-20 teaching practice hours included. The 168-hour TEFL Academy course, in my opinion, is marketed to make it appear that you are getting more bang for your buck &#8211; you are not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The TEFL Academy&#8217;s 168-hour Level 5 TEFL course was good, but it did raise many red flags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trusted TEFL Reviews notice: Jenny asked (January 7, 2026) that her <em>The TEFL Academy Pros and Cons<\/em> review be updated due to additional content requested to be included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/trustedteflreviews.com\/category\/the-tefl-academy\/\">The TEFL Academy reviews<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New!
