Why choose World TESOL Academy?

Learn what makes us the top choice for teachers around the world.


At World TESOL Academy we put an incredible amount of effort into providing thorough but affordable teacher training.

The ESL industry can be quite confusing – even if you aren’t new to teaching. There are many different course providers, different course lengths, features, prices, and even course names. But fear not! Our goal is to clean this up, and to make thorough training accessible, understandable, and affordable.

Our organization values:

Our aim is to ensure that people around the world have access to reliable and supported teacher training.  We believe that you should finish the course feeling confident in your own abilities, and understanding what your next step would be towards your goals.

As an education-based company, we believe these three pillars should be the focus of any distance-learning course. We strongly believe that TESOL/TEFL courses should focus on the education aspect of the course rather than the end goals.

Free Course Preview:

You can take a free preview of the initial introduction module of the course here. This module shows how to use the course, the content included, and an introduction to teaching overseas/online. 

Our courses have dual accreditation:

Accreditation is a formal and intensive review conducted to ensure that an educational course is capable of delivering high-quality and effective training. Having a certificate with reputable accreditation is essential to help you secure a well-paid job.

We are delighted that our courses are accredited by not one, but two internationally-recognized accreditation bodies. When you complete your course here, you’ll be earning an education certificate that’s accredited by both ACCREDITAT and CPD.

These accreditations confirm that the courses we provide, our tutors, our assessment instruments, and our company processes and procedures are of the highest quality and are fully geared to helping you succeed.

Access to professionally printed hard copy certificates:

We also offer a professional hard copy certificate service. This gives you the option to order a physical copy of your certificate, delivered to your address. This isn’t essential, but hard copy certificates can be useful for presenting your documents to schools, when applying for work visas, or to frame as a display of your achievement.

All hard copy certificates are professionally printed, embossed by hand with a golden seal, packaged in a protective display folder, and are shipped with recorded delivery.

While many other providers charge $50-$70 USD for hard copy certificates (often without embossing and without a display folder), we charge just $25-30 including worldwide delivery with a tracking code.
