In other words, it won&#8217;t live up to your expectations. World TESOL Academy has adverts showing around the clock its Facebook feed and the reviews for the program were good. So was the price. I think I paid $30 for the course. The promise was that with this certificate, you could teach online or overseas and that it was accepted everywhere. I went ahead and enrolled and so began the World TESOL Academy farce. The course can be completed in a few hours. Each module is a few paragraphs of test followed by a multiple-choice test. After every module (and I mean EVERY module) there is a reminder that you can become an affiliate for the company and make money by selling the course to other people. I even received phone calls reminding me about this. At the end of the day (the same day I enrolled) I printed off my TEFL certificate and that was the end of my World TESOL Academy experience. Or, so I thought. The emails just kept coming, as did the phone calls, reminding me that I could earn big money by selling the course to other people. This explains all the 5-star reviews on World TESOL Academy&#8217;s Facebook page feed. People write about how wonderful the course is because they just want to sell it to other people. this isn&#8217;t a TEFL program. It&#8217;s a Ponzi scheme. I did apply to a few schools with the certificate but I was laughed out of the building. It appears that the word is now out that this program does very little in the way of preparing you to teach English. I&#8217;m now going to take a TEFL course that is reasonably priced, which is internationally recognized, and doesn&#8217;t treat me like some kind of extension to its marketing department. World TESOL Academy is too good to be true and I should have known better.<\/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\/world-tesol-academy\/\">World TESOL Academy reviews<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New!
