If you are looking for a TEFL course that feels like it&#8217;s run by a group of fraternity students then this is the right one for you. Yes, they are one of the larger organizations. Yes, their adverts are pasted all over the web. Yes, they try to put forward an image of being part of a cool, hipster TEFL crowd. The course though is at best mediocre, and I definitely felt misled regarding how much support would be offered to me at the end of the course. Because they are so huge, don&#8217;t expect more than an auto-reply when you ask for help with finding work. It ticked some of my boxes, but in other areas fell far short. I&#8217;m sure there are better options out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Read more&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/trustedteflreviews.com\/category\/international-tefl-academy\/\">International TEFL Academy reviews<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New!
