The course was straightforward, easy to follow, and flexible enough to fit around my schedule. I managed to complete it in a few weeks, and everything was clearly explained.

What I appreciated most was how quickly everything was processed. Once I passed, my certificate was issued within a day.

MY WARNING TO ANYONE INTERESTED IN…

MY WARNING TO ANYONE INTERESTED IN APPLYING FOR THE COURSE:

First of all, the TEFL Universal website submitted my final assessment when I wasn't even halfway done with it. I emailed them immediately for help, and still haven't gotten a response. I know that they say that retakes aren't allowed. But I must say that they don't even deserve to exist if they cannot let you retake it for accidental submission or technical issues.
They should let me retake it, because I wasn't even halfway done when it submitted on its own somehow!

Second of all. I still didn't receive my certificate. I am quite certain that these reviews are fake. They don't even have an official support chat.

We would like to clarify that course retakes are available to students who have not passed the final assessment, so this information is not accurate.

We aim to respond to all student enquiries as promptly as possible. If you have not yet received a response, we kindly ask that you contact us through our official support channels or via our Facebook page, and we will ensure your query is prioritised and resolved.

Please note that certificates are issued within one business day of successfully passing the course and are sent via email.

We would also like to clarify that our system does not submit assessments by itself.

Absolutely chocolate teapot

Absolutely chocolate teapot. If you need this certification you can get anyone to pass it for you. There is no real exam. My wife tried to pay for the course but they didnt accept her cards. Then i paid for it with my card. And now i have a certification and they say they can not change it to the person who actually did all the work they just said "then it should be easy for you to do it again" They might be accredited but this is nothing but a money machine. Stay way clear of this company! My wife asked you nicely again "Hello TEFL Universal!

I just finished and passed the test. However, I was surprised that the email notification I received listed my husband's name (perhaps because his credit card was used to purchase the course). I have updated my account and profile details. I hope the certification information is accurate and reflects this update. This is correct, isn't it? I just want to confirm this with you.

Thank you," this was never responded to either

We would never say anything like that.

We are always happy to assist students and can amend certificate details when incorrect information has been submitted. What you’ve described does not align with how we operate.

I would suggest checking which company you registered with, as this does not sound like TEFL Universal.

Please contact us directly via our official email so we can assist you properly.

When it becomes clear that TEFL Universal was not involved in this matter, we kindly ask that you remove this review.

Tefl Universal is a great institution

Tefl Universal is a great institution. The course is very educational and provided me with some wonderful insights into teaching English. Customer service team was very helpful, Paul took the time to answer my questions with detailed and considered responses.

Impeccable service that left a Lasting impression

I am absolutely blown away by the exceptional service from TEFL. I was in a bit of a pickle. I reached out to them Via email not expecting a response as most of these online universities are. But to my surprise i received a response within thirty minutes. The email was not only prompt but also incredibly reassuring and welcoming.
Paul, the person who assisted me had already fixed my problem before responding to my email - talk about efficiency. I am so grateful for the kindness and professionalism displayed. Their dedication to customer satisfaction is truly commendable.

Five stars isn't enough- I'd give you ten stars if i could.

Issues resolved

I recently purchased the 150-hour TEFL course, but I have not yet received any login details or confirmation email to access the platform.
I had issues of my name not appearing but have been contacted via email, and this has been resolved.

Thank you

Extremely worthwhile and highly informative…

An extremely worthwhile and informative 150-hour TEFL training course.

The course is well-planned and organized, allowing learners to progress at their own pace. It is packed with useful information for both inexperienced teachers and experienced ones like me. I even plan to take two other courses offered—one about Teaching English Online TEO and another about Teaching English to Young Learners TEYL. Both topics are well-introduced in the 150-hour program, but I'm eager to delve into them even more to enhance my lessons.

If you are hesitant like I was, don't be. This course is the real deal.
